If you live in or around Pune & would like to take a gliding experience flight, you should visit GCP on any Sunday to book your flight. At this time, you cannot check availability or book flights from the website or over the phone. GCP is open to general public and offers joy rides on Sundays (excepting national holidays). Please note that flying activities usually commence on Sundays by 11:00 am subject to suitable weather conditions and clearance from ATC.

If you are interested in learning to fly at GCP or if you have specific questions about training (after reading all the info on this website), please visit GCP personally and interact with the instructor or with any of the pilots or trainees. At this time, we are unable to answer any questions on email.

If you are a glider pilot planning to visit GCP you can mail us at
skywards [at] glidingcentre [dot] in
to check flying schedules, availability of hostel accommodation or ask any other question related to gliding. Please note that at this time, we are only writing back to pilots.

Gliding Centre Pune

This website provides information about gliding as a recreational activity and as an exciting aero-sport. It also provides information about the GCP [Gliding Centre at Pune]. GCP is India's oldest centre and till date the most active hub for gliding in the country. This website is created under the 'Skywards' initiative run by a group of glider pilots who fly at GCP. The aim of the 'Skywards' initiative is to popularise gliding in India with a hope that more and more people will take up the sport and it will eventually lead to better gliding facilities and setting up of more centres across India. You are welcome to explore the website and welcome to experience gliding at GCP. If you have been fascinated about flying, there is a section on 'Learning to Fly', written specifically for you. Most of the content of this website is introductory and written for those who are new to gliding. If you are already into gliding, we look forward to seeing you at GCP and also to receiving your suggestions and comments on the website and its contents.
