The International Airport Authority of India has announced a comprehensive renovation of Terminal 1 at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, which may require temporary flight diversions.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) disclosed plans to carry out a major overhaul of Terminal 1 at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. The project aims to modernise the ageing infrastructure, improve passenger amenities and increase the terminal's handling capacity.
Work is expected to commence in the coming weeks and will be executed in phases to minimise disruption. During the renovation, certain sections of Terminal 1 may be closed, prompting airlines to shift flights to other terminals or nearby airports on a temporary basis.
AAI has advised carriers to develop contingency arrangements and has urged passengers to monitor airline communications for possible schedule changes. The authority assures that essential services will remain operational and that the overhaul will be completed as swiftly as safety standards permit.
Travelers are recommended to arrive early, check flight status online and stay informed through official airport channels for the latest updates.
