New Delhi [India], December 18 : Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) set new records for passenger traffic in November 2025. The airport handled more than 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," Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) said in a press release.
The airport broke its own records for the most passengers in a single day three times in November, according to the release.
These records were set on November 15, 22, and 29. The busiest day ever for the airport was November 29, when 1.76 lakh passengers used the terminal. This shows that more and more people are choosing to travel by air, the release said.

For international travel, Dubai was the most popular city with over 2 lakh passengers. London and Abu Dhabi were also very busy routes.
