Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport
Mumbai
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (IATA: BOM) serves Mumbai, the capital of the Indian state of Maharashtra. It lies across the suburbs of Santacruz and Sahar Village in Vile Parle East and is operated by Mumbai International Airport Limited, a joint venture of Adani Enterprises and the Airports Authority of India. It is named after Shivaji, the 17th-century ruler of the Maratha Empire.
Readers of Travel + Leisure voted it No. 9 among international airports in the World's Best Awards 2025, with a reader score of 84.23. It sits between Tokyo Haneda and Seoul Incheon on that list.
The airport began as RAF Santa Cruz, built in the 1930s and home to several Royal Air Force squadrons during the Second World War, before it was handed over for civil use from 1946. A new international terminal at Sahar opened in 1980, and the present Terminal 2 was inaugurated in January 2014. In 2025 it was the second-busiest airport in India after Delhi and the 28th-busiest in the world by passenger traffic.
