Mumbai's historic general aviation aerodrome on the Arabian Sea coast.

Opened

1928

Location

Mumbai, India

Juhu Aerodrome is one of India's oldest airports, located in the Juhu suburb of Mumbai along the Arabian Sea coastline. It served as Mumbai's primary civil airport before Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSIA) took over that role, and today functions as a general aviation facility. The aerodrome is operated by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and primarily serves private aircraft, helicopter operations, flying clubs, and pilot training schools. It is home to several flying academies and the Bombay Flying Club, one of India's oldest aviation organizations. Due to its proximity to densely populated areas and constraints on its single runway, Juhu does not handle scheduled commercial airline traffic. Its continued operation reflects its historical significance and its role in supporting general aviation in India's financial capital.

Getting to & from

The aerodrome is accessible by road via the Western Express Highway and local roads through the Juhu and Vile Parle suburbs of Mumbai.
