Passengers travelling eastwards from Budapest’s Liszt Ferenc Airport
have an opportunity to see Mumbai’s new Chhatrapati Shivaji
International Airport, now surely one of the world’s most beautiful and
astonishing airports.
Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, KLM, Lufthansa and British Airways all touch down in Budapest and Mumbai, where then-Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh inaugurated the state-of-the-art Terminal 2, or T2, on 10 January this year. It opened for international operations on 12 February.
The decision to rebuild Mumbai’s dingy and congested Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport was taken in 2006 and the new terminal was built by the GVK-led consortium at a cost of over Rp 12,500 crores (a crore is 10 million in India).
GVK is a leading Indian conglomerate with a presence across energy, resources, airports, transportation, hospitality and life sciences sectors. The airport is named after a 17th-century Maratha emperor but almost everything else about it is strictly 21st century.
A very constrained airport, Chhatrapati Shivaji severely lacks land and it was a daunting task to rebuild while ensuring minimal interference with passengers.
