Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport currently has two terminals. The domestic operations are carried out at the Santa Cruz terminal on the south side, while international operations happen at Sahar to the north.
Once the new terminal is fully operational next year, it will cater to domestic operations, and the existing Santa Cruz terminal will be demolished.
Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) consortium of GVK Industries, Airports Company South Africa and Bidvest, was appointed in February 2006 to carry out the modernisation.
The project was originally slated to be completed by the end of 2013, but circumstances have delayed the project by a year.
