Getting to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) used to mean budgeting an extra hour for traffic on the Western Express Highway, no matter which part of Mumbai you were coming from. That changed once the Aqua Line pushed its tunnels right under both terminals. A cab from Churchgate could take anywhere between 45 and 90 minutes depending on the hour. The metro now makes the same trip in under 40 minutes, rain or shine.<\/span><\/p>\n

This guide covers every nearest metro station to Mumbai airport, how far each one actually is from the terminal you are flying out of, first and last train timings, and what all this connectivity has done to property prices in the neighborhoods around CSMIA. If you are hunting for property for sale near Mumbai airport, the last section is probably the one you want.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quick fact:<\/i><\/b> The Aqua Line is Mumbai’s first fully underground metro corridor, running 33.5 km from Cuffe Parade to Aarey JVLR with 27 stations. It has been fully operational since October 2025, and it is the only line that actually stops under both airport terminals.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

1. CSMIA Terminal 2: The One Everyone Actually Uses<\/b><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Quick facts: <\/b>Aqua Line (Line 3)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Opened October 2024\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Direct covered footbridge to the terminal since August 2025<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For years this station sat about 500 meters from the terminal building, connected by a walkway that nobody bothered signposting properly. That got fixed. A 100-meter air-conditioned foot overbridge now links Exit 1A straight into the T2 arrivals area, so you can step off a train from BKC or Churchgate and be at check-in in a few minutes. It also has one of the longest escalators in the country, at 21 meters, which is a strange thing to be proud of, but there it is.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Coming from South Mumbai, the ride from Cuffe Parade or CSMT takes roughly 35 to 40 minutes and costs around \u20b950 to \u20b960. Coming from BKC, it’s closer to 15 to 20 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n
