The Air India Group on Tuesday announced that it will commence commercial flights from Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), operated by Adani Airport Holdings, starting from the airport’s first phase of operations.
In the initial phase, Air India Express, the group’s value carrier, will operate 20 daily departures or 40 Air Traffic Movements (ATMs) from NMIA, connecting 15 Indian cities.
The airline plans to scale up to 55 daily departures (110 ATMs) by mid-2026, including up to five daily international flights. By the winter of 2026, the group aims to operate 60 daily departures (120 ATMs), linking key domestic and international destinations.
Air India Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Campbell Wilson has said that the group is looking forward to commencing operations at the NMAI, as Mumbai joins the league of world cities with more than one airport. “We are happy to work with Adani Airports to build NMIA not only as a point that connects to the rest of India but also as one of the country’s key global transit hubs for both passengers and cargo, given its strategic geographical location. At the Air India Group, we are proud to lead the charge in connecting the west to the east and beyond via India, and our expansion at NMIA will support India’s growth as a global aviation hub,” he has added.
