As Maharashtra writes a new chapter in Indian aviation, Navi Mumbai International Airport stands as a symbol of progress, accessibility, and growth for the region.
A mega feat of planning and engineering for India’s busiest skies, Navi Mumbai International Airport is taking shape in Ulwe, Navi Mumbai, over a vast area of 1,160 hectares.
According to data shared by the airport authorities, Phase 1 of the project is expected to handle 20 million passengers annually.
