Which airport is best for private jets?
Mumbai has two airports serving private jet travellers. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) combines a dedicated General Aviation Terminal at Kalina with convenient access to Bandra Kurla Complex and the western suburbs, though flight timings must account for daily peak-hour restrictions. Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMI), near Panvel, offers an alternative for visits to Navi Mumbai and provides access to South Mumbai via Atal Setu. Airport choice depends on your schedule, parking requirements and onward destination.

Private aviation facilities
BOM's General Aviation Terminal at Kalina Gate 8 offers VIP lounges, butler service, refreshments, a conference room and customs and immigration facilities. NMI provides private jet passenger assistance, lounge access, fast-track security and customs and immigration coordination. Both airports offer dedicated transport between the terminal and aircraft.
Slot constraints & peak demand
Both airports require confirmed arrival and departure slots. At BOM, general aviation movements are not permitted daily between 08:00 and 10:00 and between 17:00 and 19:30 local time. NMI also requires advance slot approval from its airport operations team. Parking arrangements need separate confirmation, including any requirement to reposition the aircraft between flights.
Transfers & airport choice
Choose BOM for convenient access to Bandra Kurla Complex and Mumbai's western suburbs. NMI suits Navi Mumbai and Panvel, with Atal Setu providing a route to South Mumbai. For Colaba or Nariman Point, compare both airports against your flight schedule and expected road conditions.
In Mumbai, airport choice comes down to approved flight times and where you are headed after landing. BOM suits BKC and the western suburbs, while NMI serves Navi Mumbai and offers another route to South Mumbai. Your LunaJets advisor weighs both airports against your itinerary, coordinates with the operator and local handling team, and can arrange a chauffeur transfer to your hotel or meeting.

For private jet travellers
Things to do
A private sailing trip from the Gateway of India offers views of Mumbai's waterfront from the harbour. For a longer outing, a speedboat trip to Elephanta Island leads to its rock-cut cave temples. Back in the city, Kala Ghoda's heritage streets and galleries offer an afternoon on foot, including Jehangir Art Gallery, which hosts changing exhibitions of Indian art.
Where to stay
The Taj Mahal Palace in Colaba overlooks the Gateway of India, making it a useful base for exploring South Mumbai's historic waterfront. At Nariman Point, The Oberoi, Mumbai offers views across Marine Drive and the Arabian Sea. Further north, The St. Regis Mumbai in Lower Parel combines a high-rise setting with butler service and access to the boutiques of neighbouring Phoenix Palladium.
Where to dine
Masque serves a seasonal ten-course tasting menu in a former textile mill, exploring Indian ingredients through contemporary cooking. In Colaba, The Table takes a more international approach, with small and large plates designed for sharing. Wasabi by Morimoto, at The Taj Mahal Palace, serves Japanese cuisine, including sushi and seasonal omakase menus.
