Navi Mumbai International Airport Welcomes First Aircraft
In a landmark moment for the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA; Airport Code: NMI), an Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft successfully touched down on its South runway.
The inaugural landing of the IAF C-295, a large multi-role tactical airlifter, represents a significant milestone in the Adani Group’s development of the greenfield international airport, which started in August 2021, during the pandemic and is scheduled to be operational in early 2025, says an official release.
“We are proud of the progress NMIAL has made,” says Jeet Adani, Director, Adani Airport Holdings. “As AAHL’s first greenfield airport, NMIAL represents years of planning, investment and hard work.
We are grateful to the Government of Maharashtra, the regulatory bodies including CIDCO and Airports Authority of India and all the other stakeholders who have come together to make this project possible.
This world-class airport will play a pivotal role in the region’s growth, serving as a crucial hub for travellers across the globe.”
The event was attended by dignitaries including Eknath Shinde, Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Murlidhar Mohol, Minister of State for Civil Aviation and Co-operation and senior officials from NMIAL and AAHL.
