Jet Airways, Air India to shift domestic ops to Mumbai airport’s T2 by December

Mumbai: Mumbai’s Santa Cruz terminal, which currently hosts most of the domestic flights, will cater only to low-cost carriers such as Indigo, SpiceJet and GoAir once full-service carriers like Jet Airways and national carrier Air India shift domestic operations to terminal 2 (T2) by December.
“Both Jet Airways and Air India, which operate out of terminal 1B, will shift domestic operations to T2 by the end of the current calendar year,” a senior GVK official, who didn’t wish to be named, said.
Mumbai International Airport Pvt (MIAL), which operates Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA), is a joint venture between a GVK-led consortium holding 74% stake and Airports Authority of India (AAI) holding the rest.
At present, full service carriers like Jet Airways and Air India, along with no-frills carriers like IndiGo, SpiceJet, and GoAir, operate from terminal 1B of the Mumbai airport, while the newly launched full service carrier Vistara, a joint venture between Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, operates out of T2.
