Mumbai Airport Upgraded To Boost Capacity, Expand Security Check Area At T2

The expansion and upgrading of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Security Checkpoint Area (SCP) at the T2 Terminal of Mumbai International Airport (MIAL) have been successfully completed. This project has created extra space, increasing the capacity of the terminal and resulting in shorter wait times and improved convenience for passengers. 

In order to meet the growing demand for air travel and to enhance the passenger experience at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA), Mumbai, MIAL, in consultation with the Ministry of Civil Aviation and BCAS, implemented a comprehensive plan to augment capacity and upgrade the Integrated SCP facilities. The first phase of this initiative began in September 2022, and now, two out of the three phases have been completed, delivering the desired outcomes. 

To further enhance the passenger experience, CSMIA has deployed ushers to assist passengers and introduced priority lanes for senior citizens, passengers travelling with children or infants, and individuals with special needs. 

Expressing his satisfaction with the progress made by MIAL, Minister of Civil Aviation and Steel, Jyotiraditya Scindia, stated, “Passenger contentment has always been our priority and I am delighted that private airport operators are fully collaborative in our mandate to make air travel easy and hassle-free for all. MIAL has done a great job by creating this additional space which will increase capacity and provide convenience to the passengers. With the completion of phase 3 of this project, this will further enhance. Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, we will continue to work and provide the best service to our people.”
