Mumbai Airport to Cut 265 Weekly International Flights Amid Terminal 1 Redevelopment
Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport plans to temporarily cut 265 weekly international flights from October 25 to accommodate domestic operations shifting from Terminal 1 (T1) to Terminal 2 (T2) during T1's phased redevelopment starting January 2027. The reduction affects 46 airlines, including IndiGo, Air India, Emirates, and Etihad Airways. Approximately 5 million passengers annually will be impacted by the redevelopment of T1's North Section, while 91% of traffic remains unaffected. Airlines have expressed concerns over consultation and the proposed slot cuts, and some international flights may temporarily move to Navi Mumbai Airport.
