The incident occurred around 6:10 PM on the ground floor of a four-story building near the 1-B circle. Viral videos on social media showed thick black smoke billowing from the structure, prompting an immediate response from the fire brigade, police, and municipal teams. Airport authorities confirmed that a short circuit was the primary cause of the blaze. Fortunately, due to the swift action of emergency responders, the fire was contained within minutes, ensuring no injuries to passengers or staff and preventing any disruption to flight schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the day witnessed another high-tension moment when an Air India flight (AI2812) bound for Bengaluru was forced to make a U-turn back to Mumbai shortly after takeoff. The pilot detected a technical snag and prioritized passenger safety by executing a precautionary landing. Air India expressed regret for the inconvenience and arranged an alternative aircraft to transport the passengers to their destination. While these back-to-back incidents at India\u2019s second-busiest airport caused temporary anxiety, the professional handling of both situations by the ground staff and airline crew averted any major catastrophe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Panic gripped Mumbai\u2019s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) on Thursday evening following a fire outbreak at Terminal 1.
