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 primarily serves general aviation, private charter flights, helicopter operations, and flight training activities, and is no longer used for scheduled commercial airline services.
The aerodrome is operated by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and hosts several flying clubs and training academies, including the historic Bombay Flying Club. Its proximity to the densely populated Juhu and Versova neighborhoods has long constrained its expansion and operational scope.
Despite its limited commercial role, Juhu holds significant historical importance as the site where the first airmail flight in Asia is said to have taken place in 1911, and it remains a functioning general aviation hub in one of the world's most congested urban environments.
Getting to & from
The aerodrome is accessible by road via the Western Express Highway and local Mumbai roads, with auto-rickshaws and taxis serving the surrounding Juhu area.
