Metro Line 8 to Connect Mumbai and Navi Mumbai Airports

Metro Line 8, the proposed airport-to-airport corridor, is set to connect the Mumbai and Navi Mumbai international airports through a high-capacity metro link featuring 11 stations. The planned route will pass through Andheri, Jogeshwari, Goregaon, Malad and Kandivali before extending onwards to Mira Road and Navi Mumbai, providing seamless travel between the two aviation hubs.

The corridor is designed to integrate with existing metro networks to strengthen connectivity for airport passengers and suburban commuters. It is also expected to reduce pressure on road traffic while improving access across western and eastern parts of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

Authorities anticipate that Metro Line 8 will significantly cut travel time between the two airports and enhance last-mile access in several densely populated suburbs. The project forms part of the broader metro expansion aimed at creating a more efficient, interconnected public transport system for Mumbai’s growing mobility needs.
