Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport

Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport
Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (BOM)

The airport of Mumbai (previously Bombay) is the biggest and busiest of India. In 2006, the airport processed over 20 million passengers, and the number is rising every years. That is why a large-scale construction is underway to join the current two terminals. The current domestic terminal will then be used for freight transport. Construction should be completed in 2010.

Terminal 1 (A + B) is for domestic flights, Terminal 2 (A + B) for international flights. The buildings are located at quite some distance apart, there is a free shuttle bus that connects them (travel time 20 minutes).

Rates mentioned here are in Indian rupees. 1 euro is worth almost 85 rupees (March 2008).

Local transport

Train

In the Arrivals Hall Terminal 2, there is a desk where you can buy tickets to the Mumbai subway. You can reach Mumbai CST (previously Victoria) and Churchgate station by train. There are plans for a direct subway connection to the airport.

Car and bus

The domestic terminal is located 26 kilometres to the north of Mumbai, the international terminal is located 4 kilometres further away. The route to the airport is clearly indicated along all north-bound roads from Mumbai.

In the arrivals Hall of Terminal 2, there is a desk where you can buy tickets for the long-distance buses to various destinations in the surrounding area of Mumbai. In front of the arrivals hall, there are bus services to various destinations in Mumbai itself. There is also a shuttle bus to the Air India building on Nariman Point.

Car rental

In the arrivals hall, there are desks of (private) car rental companies. They only provide chauffeur-driven cars.

Taxi

In front of the Arrivals Hall, there are plenty of taxis. You can buy a ticket in advance at a desk in the terminal (tel: +91(0)22 2682 9922) for an air-conditioned, which cost about three times as much as a taxi without air conditioning. If you do not buy a pre-paid ticket, make sure the taxi driver turns on his meter! The ride to the center of Mumbai can take 90-120 minutes (!). In addition, there are also motorized rickshaws available.

Parking

At the moment, there are 3,600 parking spaces at Mumbai Airport, but that number will rise considerably after the construction work on the terminals is completed. Parking spaces nearest to the terminals costs 120 rupees per (up to) four hours, the cheaper spaces cost half that amount.
