Airlines Express Concerns Over Mumbai Airport Terminal 1 Redevelopment and Flight Relocation
Mumbai International Airport plans to redevelop Terminal 1 starting April 2027, requiring the temporary relocation of about five million passengers annually to Navi Mumbai International Airport. Airlines, including Emirates and Air France-KLM, have expressed concerns over the timing, capacity, and operational efficiency of the shift, requesting phased redevelopment and adherence to slot allocation guidelines. Delays in expanding Terminal 2's north-west pier and uncertainties around Navi Mumbai Airport's readiness have intensified airline resistance, prompting ongoing discussions between carriers and airport officials.
