MUMBAI: Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), the first green-field international airport of the country is not just going to miss the deadline, but the work is unlikely to be finished within next two years, officials have said.
According to the original plan the government had announced that the first flight from the airport will take off in December 2020. However, acording to officials, while the reluctance of the project-affected people to vacate the land required for construction of the airstrip has stalled the work on one hand, the economic slowdown too is adversely affecting the project.
