CSMIA sets record passenger milestones in November 2025

Mumbai, 18 December 2025:

Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) recorded a robust passenger traffic performance in November 2025, handling over 48.88 lakh passengers during the month. The strong showing was driven by sustained festive and winter travel demand, supported by extensive domestic and international connectivity.

CSMIA set its top three single-day passenger traffic records in November, surpassing previous highs on November 15, 22 and 29, 2025. The airport registered its highest-ever single-day passenger volume of 1.76 lakh passengers on November 29, reflecting continued growth across travel segments.

During November 2025, CSMIA facilitated approximately 27,960 air traffic movements, carrying over 3.4 million domestic passengers, while international routes accounted for more than 1.4 million passengers.

Among international destinations, Dubai emerged as the busiest route with 2,09,714 passengers, followed by London Heathrow (1,12,043) and Abu Dhabi (1,00,284). On the domestic front, Delhi remained the top sector with 6,09,646 passengers, followed by Bengaluru (4,36,301) and Chennai (2,07,692).

On 29 November, of the total 1.76 lakh passengers, approximately 1.22 lakh were domestic travellers, while over 54,000 were international passengers. This milestone followed shortly after CSMIA recorded its highest-ever daily air traffic movements of 1,036 on 21 November 2025, highlighting strong operational preparedness during peak travel periods.

International routes with the highest passenger volumes on November 29 included Dubai (7,200 passengers), London Heathrow (4,766), Abu Dhabi (3,213), Singapore (3,054) and Doha (2,369). On the domestic network, key destinations such as Delhi (22,703), Bengaluru (11,565), Chennai (7,578), Kolkata (6,667) and Hyderabad (6,507) recorded strong demand.

As one of India’s busiest and best-connected airports, CSMIA continues to accommodate rising passenger volumes while ensuring seamless operations during high-traffic periods. The airport’s strong performance in November 2025 reaffirms Mumbai’s position as a preferred domestic and international gateway, well-equipped to meet growing travel demand in the months ahead.
