Why are airlines and Adani Airports at odds?
Dispute between airlines and Adani over Mumbai airport redevelopment has airlines opposing Adani's plan to reduce international flights at Terminal 2. With Mumbai airport's aging Terminal 1 set for redevelopment from January 2027, MIAL plans to move 265 of 770 weekly international departures from Mumbai's Terminal 2 to the new Navi Mumbai International Airport.
This move affects 46 airlines and 5 million passengers per year. Adani argues the redevelopment is needed due to safety concerns, while airlines question the reduced international operations and the lack of adequate preparation for the transition to Navi Mumbai. The Civil Aviation Ministry will meet on October 6 to attempt a resolution.
