Mumbai Airport to Redevelop Terminal 1, Cut 265 Weekly International Flights from October 25
Mumbai International Airport is set to redevelop Terminal 1, closing it from October 25 until around 2029-30. To accommodate domestic flights shifting from T1 to Terminal 2, the airport will reduce 265 weekly international flights from T2, affecting 46 airlines including IndiGo, Air India, Emirates, and Etihad. The redevelopment aims to modernize T1 with improved infrastructure and capacity. Airlines have been asked to submit transition plans, with some disputes reported over slot reallocations. The project includes airside upgrades and is expected to enhance overall airport efficiency.
