Mumbai International Airport Limited

What Mumbai International Airport Limited does

Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) is a joint venture between the GVK-led consortium and Airports Authority of India, incorporated in 2006 to operate and modernize Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSIA) under an Operations Management Development Agreement (OMDA) with the Government of India. MIAL operates two passenger terminals (T1 domestic, T2 international), a dedicated air cargo terminal at Santacruz, and ancillary infrastructure including the Jaya He GVK New Museum, Niranta Airport Transit Hotel, and the GVK Lounge. The airport handled 45.4 million passengers in FY 2016-17 across 50+ airlines serving 90+ international and 47 domestic destinations, and processed over 0.6 million metric tons of cargo annually, making it one of India's two largest aviation hubs.

MIAL's technology stack includes proprietary operational systems: GALAXY (Custodian Management System), GMAX (India's first air cargo community platform launched in 2013), the Cargo Mobile Application (India's first), and the in-house Carbon Accounting and Management System (CAMS) supporting Airport Carbon Accreditation Level 3. The A-STAR quality service framework coordinates stakeholders including CISF, airlines, customs, immigration, retail, F&B, and ground handlers under a QSM Steering Committee chaired by the MIAL President.

MIAL generates revenue across four streams: (1) regulated aeronautical tariffs set by AERA (landing, parking, route navigation, UDF); (2) non-aeronautical commercial revenue from retail concessions, duty-free (DFS), F&B, advertising, parking, and lounges; (3) cargo terminal operations at unit pricing (Rs. 5.12/kg general import, demurrage after free period); and (4) premium services including Pranaam GVK Meet and Assist (Rs. 1,800-6,000 per passenger) and Aviaxpert wheelchair assistance. Customers span domestic and international passenger segments, 50+ airlines, cargo stakeholders, and commercial concessionaires, with the Aero Marketing Team pursuing a 360-degree route development and airline partnership strategy.
