Surrounding the Mumbai Airport Area about254 ac.land is encroached by slums. Non availability of land for rehabilitation in the vicinity makes it difficult to provide for good infrastructure outside the airport. This not only poses a serious challenge in terms of operation, security and aesthetics but also causes financial losses.
