Fadnavis Makes Key Proposal for Mumbai Airport Terminal-1

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has proposed an alternative plan for the redevelopment of Terminal-1 at Mumbai Airport. He has opposed the proposal to shift 14 international flights to Navi Mumbai Airport as part of the redevelopment process. He expressed concerns that such a move could cause inconvenience to passengers and airlines.

Fadnavis suggested constructing a new terminal before demolishing the existing Terminal-1. He proposed completing the new facility while the current terminal continues to operate, thereby minimising disruptions to flight services. According to him, this approach would help reduce the additional burden on passengers and airlines while ensuring smoother airport operations during the redevelopment process.
