What's happening
Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport is redeveloping Terminal 1. The airport expects about 91 per cent of its international passenger traffic to continue without disruption during the work.
The details
Under the Summer 2027 schedule, 39 out of 50 international airlines will continue flying from the airport.
Terminal 1 currently has capacity for 15 million passengers a year. Once redeveloped, it is expected to accommodate 20 MPPA, an increase of about 33 per cent.
Why it matters
Keeping 39 international carriers in operation means most of Mumbai Airport's international traffic is expected to remain in place while Terminal 1 is rebuilt. The project is also intended to add passenger capacity at the terminal.
What's next
The terminal redevelopment is expected to raise Terminal 1's annual passenger capacity to 20 MPPA. International airline operations will continue under the Summer 2027 schedule.
