Mumbai airport's new terminal, T2, will begin operations on Wednesday. Here are the five
things you need to know about it. 1) The T2 is built over four levels: Level 4 for international departures; Level 3 for domestic
departures; Level 2 for arrivals; and Level 1 for
ground transport. 2) All international flights departing before 1pm will be from the old terminal and all departures
after 1 pm will be from the new Terminal 2.
Likewise, flights arriving before noon will be at
the old terminal and all arrivals after noon will be
at the new Terminal 2. The old terminal will be
closed for operations from 2 pm. 3) All international passengers travelling by chauffeur-driven cars or taxis can drive to the
departure gates at Level 4 through the Sahar
elevated access road. But two-wheelers and
autorickshaws will not be allowed on the elevated
road. 4) All two-wheelers, three-wheelers, city buses will access Terminal 2 by using a dedicated lane
through the existing Sahar road. 5) For arriving passengers, private car, hotel pick- up provisions are available at Level 2 and prepaid
taxi and special coach services are available at
Level 1. For auto and city bus services,
passengers will have to cross Level 2 to the
designated pick-up points at Level 1. Besides, MIAL has set up an Airport Contact Centre
consisting an automated 24-hour passenger help
line 022-66851010 which will respond to query,
requests, and feedbacks over phone call or SMS.
