Mumbai Airport News: All was not normal that night at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. Officers from Custom Air Intelligence Unit (AIU) were searching on Advanced Passenger Information System (APIS). Suddenly there was a wrinkle on his forehead, but a smile appeared on his lips.
