The outer structure of Navi Mumbai International Airport’s first terminal building is almost ready. Exactly behind the under-construction building, stands a partially demolished hill. Executives from the airport company are now hopeful the hill will be flattened by mid-January, paving the way for the first commercial take-off by December next year.
“We are ahead of schedule on the airfield, what is left is a small hill,” a spokesperson for Navi Mumbai International Airport Ltd (NMIAL) said, adding that the airfield, which consists of a runway, taxiway, apron and others, is 60 per cent complete and the runway is at 70 per cent.
