Remarks: The one place on this planet that i've visited zillions of times from childhood till date! The one place that all BOM spotters will connect to in a heartbeat ! Designed by Aéroports de Paris and opened in January 1981 , Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (formerly called Sahar Airport) terminal 2 is currently going through a massive reconstruction / redevelopment phase to create the ultra modern X-shaped integrated terminal.
