One thing we wish for when we head to the airport is for the security check to be quicker. It looks like Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) has taken this into consideration. With Mumbai airport’s commitment to providing all travellers with a swift and smooth experience, it recently unveiled the expansion of its Pre-Embarkation Security Check (PESC) facility. The first phase was already thrown open in March, and the second phase looks more fulfilling.
Faster Security Checks At Mumbai Airport
Recently, the Pre-Embarkation Security Check (PESC) facility’s expansion was announced by the Mumbai airport.
On March 27, 2023, the first phase of this project was completed, adding eight new security lanes. One of these was a brand-new domestic-to-domestic (D2D) transfer facility. The goal of the project’s second phase is to improve the user experience. This is successfully done by more than doubling the PESC’s processing capacity.
With this, the CSMIA now has 328 square metres of freshly constructed domestic transfer security check space. This is in addition to the 5,735 square metres of dedicated space for security screening. One of the largest in the nation, the newly constructed PESC now offers a contiguous processing space of about 2,075 square metres.

CSMIA’s Commitment Towards Its Goal
Smooth passenger mobility is made possible in large part by the increased facility. The CSMIA has developed priority lanes for older citizens, passengers with children or newborns, and passengers who are physically disabled in order to further improve the experience at this touchpoint.
With the opening of this upgraded and extended facility, Mumbai Airport has once again proven its dedication to providing its customers with a smooth and organised travel experience.
By lowering the minimum connecting time (MCT) and ensuring prompt transfers, the airport’s capacity augmentation activities have not only improved its processing capacities but also allowed it to better service its airline customers.
