Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji BOM Airport Overview

Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport BOM (or simply 'CSIA' - and still referred to by many as 'Sahar Airport') is  India's primary, and one of South Asia's busiest airports, and is the counry's   largest and most important aviation hub, serving the densely-populated City of Mumbay and its surrounding areas. Since 2006 CSIA has been transformed into a world-class facility. Among worldwide Airports in the 15-25 million passenger category, it received ACI's number 3 quality service rating for 2012.

CSIA is located 25-35 km from Mumbay's city center, is bordering the towns of Sahar & Bramhan Wadi, and is across from the Mumbai suburbs of Santacruz & Andheri. It is accessible via the Western Express Highway, leading directly to the Domestic Terminals, and, farther north, leading to the Sahar Road Exit, taking you directly to the International Terminals.  

With two long runways and an estimated 30.7 million passengers in 2021, Chhatrapati Shivaji International is hub to Air India, and a number of other airlines, and is served by numerous domestic and international airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.

The entire passenger terminal complex at Mumbai Airport consists at present of a Domestic Terminal facility with 3 terminals, and an International Terminal. They are about 10 km apart and are served by free shuttles running every 30 minutes.

Current & Future Airport Developments:
While CSIA’s domestic & international terminals are presently situated in different locations, the aim is to integrate them within the next few years and to transform the Airport into one of the world’s most modern airports with a full range of services and technology.
Phase 2 of the expansion & integration project at CSIA has started in 2010 and includes: (a) construction of a new passenger terminal ‘T2’ at Sahar serving both international and domestic operations; (b) construction of an access road linking the Western Express Highway to T2; (c) shifting the air traffic control tower and adding a parallel taxiway to enhance airside facilities; (d) develop the city-side’s infrastructure; (e) add new cargo facilities; and (f) build Terminal 1C. While some changes are already apparent; the whole project is to be completed by 2013/14.

Note that the start of construction on the new Navi Mumbai Airport, intended to absorb some 10 million passengers from CSIA, has been postponed to September 2013, with the first the phase to open 2015/16.
