Mumbai, Oct 4 (PTI) Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray has alleged that the “BJP-led regime” is trying to “finish off” Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai and end the city’s ability to connect with the world.
He was reacting to a news report on airlines purportedly pushing back against Mumbai International Airport Ltd’s (MIAL’s) proposed 33 per cent cut in international departure slots at T2 (Terminal 2), citing existing winter schedule commitments and lack of meaningful consultation.
In a post on X on Saturday, Thackeray said the BJP regime that ushered in India’s “Lost Decade” had seen a lot of companies, manufacturers and even the International Financial Services Centre be forced out of Mumbai.
This also had an adverse impact on India’s economy at large, he added.
Now by finishing off our airport, the BJP intends to finish Mumbai’s ability to connect with the world, intentionally, he added.
“The DB Patil International Airport in Navi Mumbai is supposed to be a +1 airport, not a way to simply push passengers to discomfort and fleece them-kind of an airport. Who is this loot being facilitated for?” Thackeray said. PTI PR NSK
