Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) (IATA: BOM, ICAO: VABB), formerly Sahar International Airport, is the primary international airport in Mumbai, India, and is named after the 17th century Maratha Emperor, Chhatrapati Shivaji Bhosle. The Airport's IATA code – "BOM", is derived from Bombay, Mumbai's former name.
The airport is the second busiest airport in India in terms of overall passenger traffic. The airport has five operating terminals spread over an operational area of 1,500 acres (610 ha); CSIA handled 30.74 million passengers and 656,369 tonnes of cargo during FY 2011-12.
Along with Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, it handles more than half of the air traffic in South Asia. In 2010, CSIA airport was ranked the 30th busiest airport in the world in terms of cargo with 671,238 tonnes handled. In 2011, the airport was ranked the third-best in the world in the 25–40 million passengers category by Airports Council International.
Also in 2011, the airport was the 44th busiest in the world with 30,439,122 passengers handled, registering a 7.6% growth rate over the previous year.
The airport is one amongst a few airports in the world to be located within the city's municipal limits. It is situated in the suburb of Santa Cruz and the Sahar neighbourhood of Andheri suburb in the pincode area of 400099.
Mumbai International Airport Limited, a consortium of GVK Industries Ltd, Airports Company South Africa and Bidvest, was appointed to carry out the modernisation of Mumbai Airport in February 2006.
This project was to be completed by end of 2013, but this has been delayed by another year to the end of 2014. Once completed, CSIA will be capable of handling 40 million passengers and 1 million metric tonnes of cargo annually.
The construction of a dedicated six lane, elevated road connecting the new terminal with the main arterial Western Express Highway is underway.

I agree with everyone else, a great airport with excellent textures and eye-candy as always from Thai Creation. Great to see an airport sadly neglected by designers in the past. Who will be the first to finally release ZBAA?

India has been a bit neglected it seems. This is a great addition to my long haul flights. I've never been to Mumbai in real life but there is an atmosphere to this product that I really like. The airport itself is a quite cool and hectic place and lots of the rendition of the airport and surroundings have a great tone. My only problem is the night textures and the overall low texture rendition. The roof tops are quite blurry and some terminal buildings look better than others. It seems like an kind of easy to fix problem really, but it's there and it can be a bit frustrating when the product is so great in so many other ways. Like taxing for example, it's a joy, from the VC to see the surrounding areas and all the details and you can kind of feel the spirit of the place. And then you see the rooftops and blurry textures and you think that; well…
So yes, I totally recommend this product but beware that if you are a visual geek than you might be a bit frustrated how close it is to be not only really good, but great.

Got it today and amazingly happy of the overall quality. Thai Creation is one of the best remaining fs9 scenery developers on the market.
I am very happy of my purchase and looking for the next (unknown) release. Maybe in Canada this time :)
Keep up the good work folks!

Really love this airport from Thai Creation with nice grapics and great framerates, ok, maybe not FlyTampa quality but not far from it. Really hope that they will consider to make some airports in China and Africa. Keep on doing this great job of yours TC, and big thanks for thinking of us fs9 users.

This is a very nice scenery. You can see it has been a huge work for one single man and just the fact that he is doing airports in areas where most simmers never go, should give an extra point.
Though it is not of Flytampa quality I still give it five stars. There were some minor things I didnt really like but one can change that himself. For instance I changed the seasonal changes for the trees but it is up to your desire.
On my system the scenery has no impact on fps.
I have been in Mumbai several times and this is how it looks as far as I remember. I like the autogen buildings which create nice suroundings. At night they are a bit dark compared to the autogen buildings outside the Vabb-scenery but Indian illumination is usually quite weak, so this is how it looks in Mumbai after dark.
The animated train is a very nice detail and those blue trains really pass the airport.
Since it is fs9 the resolution of the photoreal ground is not very high. Nevertheless I find the beach made in a very nice way. You can even see where the tide goes to and makes the sand wet.
the concrete and runway textures are of high quality.
The only problem is that it will be very hard to wait for the next Thai Creation scenery.

This is my first purchase of a Thai Creation product, and they didn't let me down! Modelling and texturing is very well done, and the airport really feels alive with moving cars, apron vehicles and even a train. Also the surroundings are done, giving you the feeling that you are approaching a city. A small point of critisim is the movement of the vehicles, they do not run as fluid as for example AESlite vehicles. But I think that is a technical limitation... I also experienced some lag after loading, but this is caused by the fact that some textures do not have an alpha channel. After adding those by myself, the scenery runs smooth as silk (Intel Core i7 950, 6 GB RAM Geforce 660TI).

Excellent scenery -a very important one in the region ( Half way in between Dubai and Singapore ) right up there with the quality of Flytampa and FSDT! cant wait for you to make the FSX version as well.

Review of Thai Creation MUMBAI (VABB) for FS2004 (FS9) - Another stunning scenery from this one man outfit! Created over many months and in some ways a labour of love by the man who created it (if you have been following him on Facebook, you'll know that at one point he questioned whether he was going to finish it!), this scenery package comes complete with VAJJ Juhu Aerodrome, in addition to the main Mumbai International Airport scenery. This review is the result of about an hour's flying in and around the airport and on-ramp taxi-ing. System used was a Pentium Dual Core E5400 CPU, 2GB Dual Channel DDR3 RAM, GeForce 8800GT graphics card on a Windows XP SP3 computer running Flight Simulator 2004 with the 9.1 update. The scenery for me never really dropped below 22fps. Lovely smoothness and feature rich textures on the ground and seen from the air. Dynamic traffic all over the airport and excellent attention to detail even on the vehicle colours and logos! Lovely Fire Station and vehicles. I flew several circuits of the airport and observed it from 1500 feet and again flew a circuit at 5000 feet. The results are very good indeed and visually the scenery is stunning. There is some slight juddering of the scenery as it loads here and there but not enough to ruin the experience for me. Make sure after you install this scenery, that you defrag your hard drive properly to ensure FS loads the scenery in a fluid manner. The level of detail is immense so some slower PCs might struggle, but these days with the sort of hardware most of us have, there should not be a problem. My only criticism is the lack of static aircraft. There is plenty of static and dynamic vehicles and the airport is a very detailed place with a living feel about it. Some static aircraft would just have finished it off nicely. Four stars because I usually never give five unless the product under review is exceptional. This is close but not quite, as it is missing static aircraft and there is no documentation published with the product! However, if you want to enjoy one of India's busiest and most vibrant airports, this is the scenery for you! My congratulations to the author. Lee James - West Sussex UK
