A clutch of airlines and private jet operators have written to the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India (AERA) and the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), raising concerns about relocation notices and proposed parking charges at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) and the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), both operated by entities under the Adani Group.

Several operators, including Air India, SpiceJet, Akasa Air, and business aviation users represented by the Business Aircraft Operators Association (BAOA), have requested that the authorities review recent directives issued by Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), which manages CSMIA. These include orders to vacate parking spaces by July 31 and suggestions to shift operations to NMIA, which is still under development.

Adani Airport Holdings Ltd (AAHL), which operates both airports through subsidiaries, had issued notices in April and May 2025 asking airlines and corporate operators to vacate their parking bays at CSMIA by July 31 to facilitate construction of a new taxiway.

In a letter dated July 9 to the Civil Aviation Secretary, BAOA Managing Director R.K. Bali stated that CSMIA, as a public infrastructure asset, should remain accessible to all stakeholders in a fair and non-discriminatory manner. The association called for cancellation or deferral of the relocation orders until alternative parking arrangements are available.
