Navi Mumbai International Airport begins commercial operations, expanding Mumbai air travel capacity
Change
Navi Mumbai International Airport launched flights, easing Mumbai air traffic with capacity for 90 million passengers yearly.
Why it matters
On December 25, 2025, Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) initiated commercial flight operations, beginning with an IndiGo flight from Bengaluru. The airport operates initially from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., handling up to 24 daily scheduled departures to 13 destinations. NMIA is part of a phased development under a public-private partnership, with the Adani Group holding a majority stake alongside CIDCO. It is intended to work alongside Mumbai's existing Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to alleviate congestion. The airport aims to serve 90 million passengers annually once fully developed and includes several sustainability initiatives like solar power and electric bus services.
