The demolition of Mumbai airport’s domestic Terminal 1-A, which was announced in January, seems to be close. On Wednesday, Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) issued a public notice regarding the demolition of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport’s (CSMIA) Terminal 1-A building. The demolition work will not affect any operation at the CSMIA domestic terminal, as the building in question has not been in public use since around 2016.

The T1-A building, which is also known as the old airport building, was previously divided into three parts — T1-A, T1-B, and T1-C. The T-1A was used only by Indian Airlines (Air India) till 2005, post which Kingfisher Airlines operated alongside. Once Kingfisher ceased operations, the terminal space was given to GoAir. After all operations of Air India and GoAir shifted to Terminal 2 and Terminal 1-B of CSMIA, T1-A was shut to the public. In 2017, to prevent confusion, MIAL named Terminal 1-B as Terminal 1.
