Both the domestic and international terminals of the Mumbai airport wore a carnival-like look on Wednesday, as enthusiastic passengers participated in interactive games and activities like tarot card reading, karaoke and instant photo booth organised by the GVK Mumbai International Airport limited (MIAl) to celebrate the 11th Passengers’ day.
Jugglers, stilt walkers, live statue artists and street magicians regaled the passengers as they waited at different locations at both terminals for boarding their respective flights. A live guitarist was among the performers at the two terminals.
The MIAl, which administers the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA), organised the celebrations as part of its initiative to create a tradition of appreciation towards passengers.
With over 46 international airlines in operation, the airport sees close to 12.4 million international passengers in a year and over 45 million passengers annually. Handling 900-odd flight movements on a single runway every day, the Mumbai International Airport is considered a key gateway to India, offering travellers connectivity to various destinations across the globe.
