Air India today said it will relocate from Thursday its domestic operations in Mumbai to Terminal-2 (T-2) from Terminal-1A of Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) as part of MIAL’s phase-wise transition plan for the new swanky facility. <\/p>\n
As of now, Tata-SIA joint venture airline Vistara is the only domestic carrier operating out of T-2. <\/p>\n
At CSIA, while international flights take off and land from T-2 which is at Sahar in suburban Andheri, the two domestic terminals — 1A and 1B — are situated at Santacruz. <\/p>\n
On an average, around 90 Air India departures and arrivals take place from Mumbai per day. <\/p>\n
Air India’s domestic operations at T-2 will commence with the departure of flight AI-627 from Mumbai to Nagpur on October 1 at 5.55 AM and the arrival of AI-695 from Hyderabad to Mumbai at 7.45 AM, the airline said. <\/p>\n
With this move, Air India passengers will have the advantage of a smooth and seamless transition with easy connectivity, between domestic and international sectors, all from the same terminal, it said. <\/p>\n
Inaugurated by then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in January 2014, T-2 is a world-class integrated terminal designed to cater to 40 million passengers per annum. <\/p>\n
Passengers are being informed about the change through various channels like the AI website, social media, direction signage at both the terminals, in addition to personalized information, Air India said. <\/p>\n
The four-storey glass marvel, whose design has been inspired by a dancing peacock, came up at a whopping investment of Rs 9,800 crore. <\/p>\n
Mumbai airport is run by a joint venture company, Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), in which GVK-led consortium holds 74 per cent while the rest 26 per cent is held by the state-owned Airports Authority of India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
