What happened
The Ministry of Civil Aviation deferred the proposed partial shift of international flights from Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to Navi Mumbai International Airport until March 2027. The original proposal involved moving 265 of Mumbai airport’s 770 weekly international departures to Navi Mumbai International Airport. This move was intended to facilitate the redevelopment of Mumbai airport’s ageing Terminal 1.
