International passengers get relief as Mumbai airport postpones major flight changes

Mumbai airport deferred shifting some international flights to Navi Mumbai until March 2027, on October 13.
The original plan proposed cutting 265 weekly international departures, around 33% of Mumbai's total.
Airlines opposed the move, citing inadequate consultation and demanding detailed safety and capacity reports.
The changes are linked to Terminal 1 redevelopment, with international flights staying unchanged this winter.
