  "account": "The Adani Group has delayed its plan to relocate 30% of international flight slots from Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to Navi Mumbai International Airport. The postponement was decided in a meeting between the two parties today, October 13, 2026, following intervention from the central government. Adani Airports Holding Limited announced that the airlines have been assured of minimal disruption and their historical slots allocations will be respected. The company also committed to not disturbing any slots for the upcoming winter schedule. International airlines have reportedly pledged their support for the plan for the summer schedule. The shift was initially proposed by the Adani Group as a solution to a dispute with international airlines over a \"forceful\" transfer of slots. The International Air Transport Association had urged for a consultative approach, warning that the plan could impact international connectivity to Mumbai, India's financial hub. Initially, the airport operator had proposed moving a third of each carrier's passenger and cargo air traffic from Mumbai to Navi Mumbai, with international flights from Terminal 2 being relocated to Navi Mumbai. The conflict led the Ministry of Civil Aviation to intervene, prompting the postponement of the plan and the scheduling of a consultative meeting.",
