Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport Guide
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport sits in the Santacruz and Sahar areas of Mumbai, roughly 26 kilometres north of the city centre. It is India's second-busiest airport by passenger volume and holds the distinction of being the world's busiest airport operating with a single runway at a time — its two runways are arranged in an intersecting configuration that allows only one to be active simultaneously. The airport handled 54.8 million passengers in 2024, a record high, and recorded 346,617 aircraft movements that year.
The airport is operated by Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), a joint venture between Adani Airport Holdings (74%) and Airports Authority of India (26%). Terminal 2, which opened in 2014, consolidates all international flights and most major domestic carriers under one roof. Terminal 1 handles low-cost domestic carriers. Major international airlines serving the airport include Emirates, Qatar Airways, British Airways, Air France, Lufthansa, Etihad Airways, KLM, and Singapore Airlines.
