IndiGo to launch 18 daily flights from Navi Mumbai Airport, target 140 by Nov 2026
Arun Bansal, CEO of AAHL said that this partnership marks a major step towards confirming NMIA’s position as a transfer hub for domestic and international travellers. Together, we are poised to transform travel experience for millions of passengers, providing them both convenience and enhanced travel options, stated Bansal.
In its initial phase, NMIA is set to handle 20 million passengers and 0.5 MMT of cargo per annum, with the capacity to serve 90 million passengers and 3.2 MMT of cargo per annum, once complete.
The launch of the much-awaited NMIA was recently postponed once again. The airport, which was initially expected to begin operations by 15 May 2025, will now remain non-functional at least until 6 August 2025.
The launch of NMIA will create a dual-airport system for the financial capital of the country, enabling the de-congestion of Mumbai airport and enhancing the overall passenger experience.
