The aviation sector in Mumbai, it seems, is in a transition phase —
witnessing tremendous growth in passenger and cargo traffic in the past
decade, ongoing redevelopment work at Chhatrapati Shivaji International
Airport (CSIA) and "big plans" for Juhu airport, and possible
breakthrough in starting work for the Navi Mumbai International Airport
(NMIA).
However, the challenges remain, with slow/poor decision-making and policies, red tapism, unrealistic demands by project-affected people (PAPs), etc, which may stop the sector from taking off to great heights.
A recent study by the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) has pegged indirect contribution by CSIA-related construction activities to contribute Rs23.4 billion in income to the national GDP during the entire construction phase (2014–15 to 2018–19). Total passenger traffic at CSIA will reach 49 million by 2022–23.
