Mumbai Airport Defers International Flight Shift to Navi Mumbai After Airline Objections
Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) has postponed plans to shift 265 weekly international flights from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) to Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) until after March 2027. The Airlines Operators Committee (AOC) opposed the move, citing lack of collective consent and concerns over consultation transparency.
