Mumbai: Air India has shifted domestic operations to the international terminal from October 1. However, this shift has only inconvenienced passengers, as the easiest access via the Rs 400 crore Sahar elevated road to T2, is only for four-wheelers, not for auto rickshaws.
Passengers will have to travel by private vehicles or taxis to get to the international airport. Normally passengers travelling to the domestic terminal prefer auto rickshaws. Now they will have to take the longer route via JB Nagar and Chakala if they are traveling by rickshaw, and then get off at the auto drop-off zone at T2. Domestic passengers will then have to go up to level 4 (departure).
Among other airlines, Jet Airways will shift operations to T2 in January. To add to the problems, compared to the domestic terminal, the international terminal is far from the Western Express highway, forcing passengers commuting by three-wheelers to get into the traffic prone roads.
