With the pandemic-triggered clouds clearing, shinier days are back at the city’s international airport. In the first six months of this year, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport has recorded a 132 per cent jump in traffic compared to the same period in 2021.

Between January and June, the airport recorded nearly 1.7 crore passengers and 1.3 lakh flight movements—domestic and international—signalling the revival of operations that were severely curtailed for nearly two years.
