Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) has once again demonstrated its commitment to innovation and operational excellence by receiving the prestigious ‘Innovation Champion’ award at the Wings India Awards 2024.

The success of ‘Taxiway Z’ is attributed to the dedicated and efficient team at CSMIA, who played a pivotal role in bringing this transformative project to fruition.
The introduction of ‘Taxiway Z’ positions CSMIA as a key influencer, actively shaping the future of aviation infrastructure in India.
The CSMIA spokesperson expressed pride in accepting the award, stating, “This recognition is a testament to our continuous efforts to achieve superior operational excellence. As we witness a consistent increase in passenger footfall, our commitment remains unwavering in delivering world-class service and comfort to all travelers.”
Wings India Awards annually honors outstanding contributions in the field of civil aviation in India.
