Soon after receiving information about the fire, teams from the Mumbai Fire Brigade, along with airport police, rushed to the spot and began firefighting operations. The situation was brought under control, and no injuries have been reported so far.
While briefing about the fire incident at T1, the CSMIA spokesperson said, "On Thursday, 09 April 2026, a minor fire was reported at Terminal 1 due to a short circuit at 18:10 hrs.
