Project Information
Mumbai's CSIA airport is currently being upgraded in light of the booming air traffic growth in the Indian aviation. According to the plan, Mumbai's airport will have a new terminal, a new ATC, new taxiways and have its old terminals upgraded.

Designed by SOM architects, a new integrated terminal spread across 4.8mn sq ft will be able to handle 40 mn passengers/annum by the time it is fully functional in 2015.




The design combines an innovative set of swing facilities to optimize utilization of the terminal across the 24-hour operational day.










L&T constructions bagged the $1.4bn contract to construct the terminal in November 2007.





The integrated terminal will be built in 2 phases.
In the first phase, the international terminal T2A will be torn down and will pave the way for the construction of one side of the new terminal. This section is expected to be opened in 2013. In the second phase, T2B+T2C will be torn down to make way for the second and last section of the new terminal. Construction of this section will end in 2015.


Proposed Developments:
  • 11 Rapid Exit Taxiways and 4 Parallel Taxiways to increase the operational efficiency of the cross runway system
  • Expansion of the airport operational area
  • Construction of New ATC Tower
  • Implementation of a model Slum Rehabilitation scheme in line with the State Government Policy
  • Best in class technology for Airport Operations
  • Environmental Up gradation through use of unique,integrated Architectural & Urban Design image, large green areas, indoor & outdoor Landscaped Areas, Rainwater Harvesting and Energy Conservation

Design of the new ATC tower that'll be ready in 2012:



It has been designed by HBS architects and according to fellow member KB335ci2, it'll be 98.4m tall. Here's an awesome sketch drawn by him -



Apart from those developments, city-side infrastructure for hotels, business centres, retails, entertainment and leisure are also being developed.

@ gf: I thought so... thnx

how come a tiny plane pass over a busy airport/runway?
It was cleared by ATC to pass over the runway between two arrivals/departures. Note the AI A321 lining up at the far end of the field for take-off at the time this small plane crossed over. A Jet airways B737 is also seen crossing the active runway in the other pics.

That little plane was probably soon going to turn left to land at JUHU. Sort of highlights the chaos that might ensue if JUHU ever starts handling commercial traffic.

I know that Kochi, Singapore, etc. have nice green golf courses in and around their airports. Could this place be a feasible spot for something like this.

It's cheap beautification. Just clean green lawns, that's it. No trees, shrubs or pots or anything. Especially not those ugly municipality vertical yellow-and-black striped pavements or potted plants.

Just adds a touch of class..

Heh, even Bangalore had a Golf Course next to the Old airport.
I think it could pose a hazard though.

Compared with the population of kochi singapore and bangalore, bombay has tonnes of people.. and its an island too

And yea, what if a stray gold ball hits one of the aircraft.. also, if a plane accidently skidds of the runway, u wouldnt want it to land inside the golf course?
That area u have suggested should have all the slums moved and then they should put the catering or other areas there..

I never suggested anything.


A golf ball can be as dangerous as a bird hit.
