From Bandra (West), the terminal 1 CSMIA is 1 6.5 km away and 37 minutes on the rush, while the Navi Mumbai airport is 43 km away and takes about 94 minutes.
In 2019, Adani Airport Holdings LTD (AAHL), is in 2019, it is quite owned by the subsidiary Adani Enterprises, it is the largest Indian private operator and manages seven airports except Navi Mumbai. One of every four Indian aviation passengers now flies through the Adani -controlled airport.
