The GVK consortium-led Mumbai International Airport has re-worked the original master plan for upgradation of the airport.

The major change proposed is to have one integrated terminal at Sahara airport, instead of the original plan to  have one terminal at Sahar for international and domestic traffic and the other at Santacruz for domestic passengers.

Work on the proposed terminal is likely to begin by July 2007 and will be implemented in phases. The fully functional terminal will have a capacity to handle 40 million passengers. The original plan was to set up Sahar terminal with a capacity to handle 30 million passengers and the Santacruz facility with 12 million passengers.

By December 2007, MIAL plans to begin construction of the connector building between Domestic Terminals 1A and 1B, new aerobridges and transit facilities.
