Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) is Mumbai’s main international and domestic gateway, functioning as a major South Asian hub and handling full-service carriers and many international connections alongside low-cost operators. It sits about 20–25 km north of South Mumbai’s core, with road transfers typically taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and app cabs are common (fares varying widely), while the suburban rail and metro links can be faster during peak congestion. Pros: extensive facilities, frequent flights and numerous airline choices; cons: busy terminals and variable road delays that can lengthen transfers. Juhu Aerodrome (primarily for general aviation and helicopters) and nearby smaller airfields are used mainly for private and charter services rather than scheduled passenger flights. These facilities are close to central neighborhoods, often under 10 km away, so surface transfers are short but subject to city traffic; chauffeured cars and helicopter services are typical choices. Pros: very quick access for private flyers and scenic views; cons: limited commercial connectivity and higher per-passenger costs compared with scheduled airports. Navi Mumbai International Airport (new airport development) is being positioned to relieve congestion at Mumbai’s primary airport and accommodate growing low-cost and full-service traffic. Located roughly 30–40 km from South Mumbai depending on route, planned rail and road links aim to offer 30–60 minute transfers once operational, with shuttle buses and taxis expected to serve early routes. Pros: modern infrastructure and potential for lower fares and quicker processing; cons: until all ground links are complete, transfer times and options can be more variable compared with established terminals.

Chennai International Airport (MAA) is Tamil Nadu’s main international gateway and typically handles a mix of full-service and regional carriers alongside some low-cost airlines, making it the city’s primary hub for both domestic and international travel. It sits roughly 7–20 km from central Chennai depending on whether you’re headed to the downtown business district or Marina Beach. Ground connections include taxis or app-based cabs (about 20–45 minutes, fares varying by time and traffic), prepaid airport buses and state-run buses (cheaper but slower), plus suburban trains from nearby stations for budget-conscious travelers. Pros: frequent long-haul and domestic options, decent facilities; cons: can be congested at peak times and transfer times may grow in heavy traffic.
