Airlines operating from Terminal 1 at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport may relocate operations to Navi Mumbai or temporarily suspend services from October 25, as Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) prepares to begin demolition and reconstruction in January 2027. The new terminal is expected to be commissioned in 2029-30.

MIAL said the redevelopment is in line with the tariff order of the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India (AERA).
