265 Weekly International Flights to Be Suspended at Mumbai Airport From Oct 25
What Happened
Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) has asked 46 airlines to temporarily suspend 265 weekly international flights from October 25 to free up capacity at Terminal 2 (T2). The move is aimed at accommodating additional domestic operations while Terminal 1 (T1) undergoes redevelopment. Airlines will be required to reduce frequencies on select international routes as domestic flights currently operating from T1 shift to T2 during the construction period.
Key Takeaways
Passengers on some international routes from Mumbai could face fewer flight options from late October, as the airport prioritises capacity for domestic operations during the major redevelopment of T1. The project is expected to modernise and expand the airport's infrastructure in the long term.
