Jet Airways, India’s second largest airline, is going to integrate its domestic and international operations at Terminal 2 at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) from 15 March 2016.
"The integration of domestic and international operations at Mumbai’s Terminal 2 will enable Jet Airways to transform Mumbai into a critical international transit hub. As one of the largest carriers operating out of Terminal 2, Jet Airways is best poised to offer its guests a superior travel experience together with seamless connectivity from India to the World," said Gaurang Shetty, senior vice-president, commercial of Jet Airways.
A 4.4 million square feet integrated Terminal 2 has 60 departure check-in counters and 80 arrival immigration counters capable of handling 40 million passengers annually.
Jet Airways’ migration of domestic operations to T2 will lead to the integration of domestic and international flight operations in one terminal, resulting in a significantly enhanced, seamless and hassle free transfer experience for guests.
The relocation of domestic operations to T2 is part of Jet Airways’ strategic commitment to develop Indian airports as hubs, providing guests greater connectivity on its domestic and international networks.
Guests will now be able to transfer from domestic to international flights within 75 minutes compared to an hour and 45 minutes currently, while international to domestic transfers will take just 90 minutes compared to two hours currently.
Terminal 2 is also well connected to the island city by public transport which includes the Mumbai suburban railway, metro rail, public transport buses, taxis and auto rickshaws.
Jet Airways operates over 135 daily flights out of Mumbai to destinations in India and around the world.
The move to Terminal 2 will significantly improve operational efficiencies, by allowing Jet Airways to transition a greater number of domestic flyers onto its international network and vice-versa, the airline said.
