Adani Group will demolish Terminal 1 of Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in 2029, but only after Terminal 2 of the Navi Mumbai Airport is ready, said Arun Bansal, CEO of Adani Airport Holdings Ltd, in a media briefing.
Workers could be seen rushing around in white safety helmets, operating tractors and other heavy construction vehicles, as they try to complete the work before the first commercial flights begin in December this year. India’s top three airlines—Air India, IndiGo, and Akasa—are set to start operations from Day 1, while international airlines are expected to join in once night operations are approved.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the airport on Wednesday, following the receipt of an aerodrome licence from the aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), on 30 September.
