  "account": "Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) is set to see its passenger-handling capacity increased by about 33%, from 15 million to 20 million passengers annually, thanks to the planned redevelopment of Terminal 1. Adani Airports, which manages the airport, has announced that approximately 3.6 million passengers, or around 70% of the targeted traffic for relocation in the first phase, will be transferred to Navi Mumbai International Airport. This move will not only create room for the redevelopment of CSMIA's Terminal 1 but also enhance safety, modernize facilities, and improve passenger experience. The initial phase of the redevelopment aims to shift around 5 million passengers to Navi Mumbai, enabling critical upgrades and expanded handling capacity at CSMIA. The redevelopment will also preserve the city's aviation legacy while preparing its infrastructure for future needs. The airport operator's decision to transfer a portion of IndiGo and Air India's operations to Navi Mumbai International Airport reflects confidence in the new airport's infrastructure and operational readiness. The redevelopment of CSMIA's Terminal 1 is crucial to address safety concerns and create a safer, more resilient terminal.",
