Mumbai Airport to Demolish Part of Terminal 1 Starting January 2027
Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) will begin demolishing the north section of Terminal 1-B at Mumbai's Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport starting January 15, 2027. This phase targets a section handling around 5 million passengers annually to minimize disruption. Air traffic is being redistributed to Terminal 2 and Navi Mumbai International Airport, with Akasa Air already shifting domestic operations. At least one-third of international flights will move to Navi Mumbai from October 1, followed by further realignment to Terminal 2 from October 25.
