The Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), expected to become operational by 2024-end, will take off on a steep climb as its first terminal will have a capacity of 2 crore passengers per annum, double that of the original plan.

It will be a game-changer for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) which is currently served by the space-starved Mumbai airport, which at its peak, handled 4.8 crore passengers per year.

The greenfield airport is being developed in three phases, with the initial phase capable of handling 2.5 crore passengers per annum. The final phase, scheduled for completion by 2032, will have the capacity to accommodate over 9-crore passengers and handle 25 lakh tonnes of cargo annually.

Union Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on January 12 revealed that the Navi Mumbai international airport is set to commence operations between November and December of this year.
