Mumbai Airport Defers International Flight Shift to Navi Mumbai Until March 2027
Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL), operated by Adani Airport Holdings Ltd, has deferred plans to shift 265 weekly international flights from Mumbai's Terminal 2 to Navi Mumbai International Airport until the summer schedule starting March 2027. This decision follows airline opposition and intervention by the Ministry of Civil Aviation. The postponement aims to minimize disruption during the redevelopment of Mumbai's Terminal 1, with assurances that historical slot allocations will be respected and no changes will occur during the winter schedule. A joint working group will develop a phased transition plan with airline consultation.
