À propos Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport

L'aéroport international Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj est le principal aéroport desservant Mumbai, la capitale financière de l'Inde, et l'un des aéroports les plus fréquentés d'Asie du Sud. Situé à Santacruz, à environ 4 kilomètres au nord du centre-ville, il est l'un des aéroports les plus contraints au monde en termes d'espace, entouré par un développement urbain dense. BOM accueille plus de 50 millions de passagers par an, ce qui en fait le deuxième aéroport le plus fréquenté d'Inde. L'aéroport dispose de deux terminaux : le Terminal 2, achevé en 2014, est un bâtiment primé présentant un spectaculaire mur d'art intérieur exposant plus de 7 000 œuvres d'artistes indiens. Le Terminal 1 gère les vols intérieurs. BOM est la base principale d'Air India et d'IndiGo, et constitue un hub majeur pour Vistara et d'autres transporteurs indiens. Malgré son exploitation sur deux pistes se croisant, l'aéroport maintient des taux d'opérations remarquablement élevés. Le transport terrestre comprend le service de train de banlieue Western Line et la ligne de métro. L'importance de Mumbai en tant que centre de Bollywood, siège de la bourse et capitale des affaires de l'Inde génère une énorme demande de transport aérien. Le nouvel aéroport international Navi Mumbai est en construction pour soulager les contraintes de capacité.
