The airport features a lotus-inspired design with three terminals, two parallel runways, and advanced passenger facilities. NMIA will handle 20 million passengers and 0.8 million tonnes of cargo annually in its initial phase. Developed by a joint venture of Adani Airport Holdings and CIDCO, over 13,000 workers are on-site for timely completion.
