Civil Aviation Ministry Intervenes In Airport Redevelopment Row
The Civil Aviation Ministry will meet with airlines and Mumbai International Airport Ltd to resolve a dispute over proposed changes to international flight operations at Mumbai airport. The airport plans to temporarily reduce international flights by 33% to accommodate domestic flights during the redevelopment of Terminal 1. Airlines have opposed the cuts, citing a lack of consultation, and the ministry’s intervention aims to find a compromise. The redevelopment is expected to increase Terminal 1’s annual capacity from 15 million to 20 million passengers, as reported by Aviation India.
