MoCA Pauses Mumbai Airport Relocation Plan Amid Airline Scrutiny
What happened
The Ministry of Civil Aviation paused the airport operator’s plan to temporarily relocate international departures from Mumbai airport. This pause came after the Airline Operators Committee-Mumbai requested that Mumbai International Airport Ltd provide independent structural-safety reports on Terminal 1 and clarify the capacity expansion status of Terminal 2.
