Mumbai Airport Defers Partial Shift of International Flights to Navi Mumbai Until March 2027
The planned partial shift of 265 weekly international flights from Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) to Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) has been deferred until the summer schedule starting March 2027. This decision follows consultations between Adani Airports Holdings Ltd (AAHL), Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL), and airline representatives, who raised concerns about operational disruptions during the winter schedule. The deferral aims to minimize disruption while facilitating the phased redevelopment of Mumbai's Terminal 1. Airlines have committed to supporting the redevelopment and traffic balancing from the summer schedule onward. Navi Mumbai airport currently lacks some facilities needed for international operations, according to Emirates Airlines.
