The airport, with its two terminals spread over an operational area of 1,450 acres (5.9 km2), is India's largest and most important aviation hub and it primarily serves the city of Mumbai. The terminals were formerly known as Sahar (international) and Santa Cruz (domestic). In 1998, the airport was renamed after the 17th century Maratha Emperor, Chhatrapati Shivaji Bhosle, to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport.
