India Dec 01, 2025

Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) is finally opening its doors to commercial flights on December 25.
After a smooth passenger simulation test with hundreds of volunteers trying out check-in and baggage claim, the airport is ready to welcome travelers.
IndiGo, Akasa Air, and Air India Express participated in the simulation exercise.

Why this matters

Built at a cost of ₹19,650 crore, NMIA is expected to ease the crowd at Mumbai's busy Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Airport and boost travel options in the region.
The team behind NMIA shared their excitement online, thanking everyone who helped make sure future passengers have a smooth experience.
If you're flying soon, you might just be among the first to use Mumbai's newest airport!
