Finally Opening?

Finally Opening?

Is Navi Mumbai

Airport

NMIA is in the Ulwe–Panvel belt—about 40 km from South Mumbai and ~35 km from CSMIA (Andheri).

Exact Location

Most likely late-2025 after the monsoon. AERA has already okayed an ad-hoc UDF, a strong sign that launch prep is advanced.

So… When Do Flights Start?

Fastest path is Atal Setu (MTHL) → Ulwe Coastal Road (under construction) → NMIA, built to plug Mumbai straight into the airport.

NMIA: 20–25 min?

Phase-1 targets ~20 million passengers/year and ~0.5 MMT cargo. More terminals and capacity arrive in later phases.

Launch Phase = Big Enough
