Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday inaugurated the first phase of the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), built at a cost of around Rs 19,650 crore, marking a historic milestone in India’s aviation sector.
The airport finally opened after decades of planning, missed deadlines and anticipation, promising to reshape the way Mumbaikars fly. The Adani offering aspires to rival global benchmarks like Heathrow and Incheon airports.
The Navi Mumbai Airport received its aerodrome license from the DGCA on September 30 and is expected to start operations by December.
