[About Us] |
In January 2006, the consortium
led by GVK Group and comprising Airports Company South
Africa and Bidvest was awarded the mandate to
modernize India's busiest airport, the Chhatrapati Shivaji
International Airport (CSIA) at Mumbai.
Mumbai International Airport Pvt. Ltd. (MIAL), a joint
venture company owned by the GVK led consortium (74%) and
Airports Authority of India (26%) was formed in March 2006 to
manage and develop CSIA.
The modernization of CSIA assumes great significance given
Mumbai's status as India's financial capital and its aspirations
to become a key business centre in Asia. In 2007, CSIA catered
to 25.2 million passengers and handled around 521,932
tonnes of cargo.
MIAL's vision is to make CSIA a truly world-class airport and
equip it with the best possible facilities, infrastructure and
management.
With the objective of upgrading the infrastructure and services
at CSIA, MIAL has engaged well-known international experts in
airport design and operations. In the next 5 years, MIAL plans
to transform CSIA into an international landmark benchmarked on
global standards of airport operations. As part of the master
plan, a brand new terminal equipped with latest systems and
technology has been proposed at Sahar.
MIAL also plans to significantly improve the cargo facilities at
CSIA. A new integrated cargo complex is being planned, which
will be equipped to cater to all kind of goods including
perishables and agri-produce.
With the upgradation of the infrastructure, CSIA will be able to
cater to passenger traffic of 40 million passengers per
year and handle cargo traffic of 1 million tonnes per year.
MIAL has developed and launched a visual identity for
Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. The new identity is
derived from the form of a peacock feather into which the
acronym 'CSIA' is woven seamlessly. It captures three essential
attributes: Pride in India, People and Service and Global
Standards. This is the first time that an airport in India has
been given an identity of its own.
