Airport HistoryEst. 1946

Mumbai's international airport began as an RAF airfield at Santa Cruz in the 1930s, converted to civilian use in 1946 after India's Director General of Civil Aviation took it over. It grew into one of the world's busiest airports despite operating on two closely spaced, non-independent runways, becoming in 2017 the busiest single-runway-operation airport in the world. The airport underwent major modernization after a 2006 concession to a GVK-led consortium and passed to Adani Group control in 2021. Renamed after the 17th-century Maratha emperor Chhatrapati Shivaji, it now handles more than 50 million passengers a year through its modern Terminal 2.

✦The airport recorded 1,007 aircraft movements in a single day on December 9, 2018, a record for a two-runway (non-independent) operation.

✦Terminal 2's public art program, 'Jaya He,' showcases thousands of pieces of Indian art along passenger walkways.

✦The 'Maharaj' title was formally added to the airport's name on August 30, 2018.

✦It handled more than 55 million passengers in fiscal year 2024-25, exceeding its designed annual capacity of 50 million.
