Mumbai Airport opened the first phase of this project with 20 security lanes in the PESC in March.

Bombay: Mumbai Airport, owned by the Adani Group, announced on Tuesday that it has expanded its security check facility at its international terminal with the addition of eight security lanes. In addition, the facility has also expanded its total processing area to 5,735 square feet from 4,370 square feet previously as part of the second phase of the capacity-expansion initiative, it said.

The first phase of this project opened on March 27, 2023, adding eight new security lanes, including a brand new home-to-home (D2D) transfer facility. The second phase of this project focused on improving the experience by nearly doubling the processing space at the Pre-Embarkation Security Check (PESC).

CSMIA has added eight new security lanes, including a brand new house-to-home transfer facility (D2D). The second phase of this project aimed to improve the experience by nearly doubling the processing space at the PESC, it said.

With the expansion of infrastructure, CSMIA now has a total of 5,735 square meters of dedicated security clearance space and 328 square meters of newly created security control for domestic transfers.

The newly designed PESC now offers a contiguous processing area of ​​approximately 2,075 square meters, making it one of the largest airports in the country, the airport operator said.

“We have deployed eight new security lanes and the expansion of our integrated pre-embarkation security check. This infrastructure expansion is an important step towards improving the throughput on T2 of CSMIA and ensuring a faster and safer travel experience for all our passengers,” a Mumbai Airport spokesperson said in the statement.

The expanded facility is an important factor for smooth passenger movement, it added.
