Mumbai Airport is heading into a major transition as Terminal 1 redevelopment reshapes how airlines use the city’s airport system. From October 25, 2026, weekly international departures are expected to fall temporarily as capacity is reorganised during redevelopment.
The change matters most to frequent flyers, business travellers and families travelling during the festive and winter season. Checking flight schedules early, allowing extra ground time and watching for airline updates will become even more important.
What Mumbai travellers can do
Plan airport transfers with extra buffer time, check the terminal shown on your ticket, and confirm flight timing with the airline before leaving home. Capacity constraints could also affect fares and routing.
