El Aeropuerto Internacional Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj es el principal aeropuerto de Bombay, la ciudad más grande e capital financiera de la India. La Terminal 2, inaugurada en 2014 y diseñada por Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, es una instalación emblemática con una galería de arte de más de 7.000 piezas que celebran el arte y la cultura de la India a lo largo de los siglos. BOM gestiona más de 50 millones de pasajeros al año y es centro para Air India e IndiGo. El aeropuerto está limitado por su ubicación en el denso tejido urbano de la ciudad, operando con dos pistas que se cruzan y con escasas posibilidades de expansión. BOM es el aeropuerto más transitado del oeste de India y una puerta principal para viajeros de negocios con fuertes redes de rutas al Medio Oriente, Sudeste Asiático, Europa y América del Norte.
