29 May 2025 CW Team

IndiGo will become the first airline to launch operations from the Navi Mumbai International Airport, operated by the Adani Group. Starting with 18 daily departures to over 15 cities, the airline plans 36 daily air traffic movements from day one.

By November 2025, IndiGo aims to increase this to 79 daily departures, including 14 international ones. The airline will further scale up to 140 daily departures by November 2026, with 30 of them being international.

The greenfield airport, spread across 1,160 hectares, is designed to handle 20 million passengers and 0.5 million tonne of cargo annually in its initial phase. Once fully operational, its capacity will rise to 90 million passengers and 3.2 million tonne of cargo per annum.

Adani Airport Holdings Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Ltd, is developing the facility. With this launch, Mumbai will have a dual-airport system, easing congestion and improving passenger experience.

The Navi Mumbai airport includes a 3,700-metre runway and dual-runway capability to allow simultaneous landings and take-offs, supporting large aircraft.
