Navi Mumbai Airport Eyes Sea–Air Connectivity in Push for Multi-Modal Expansion.

Navi Mumbai airport is set to become India’s newest aviation hub when it opens on December 25, promising improved connectivity and convenience for both passengers and exporters.

Designed with a strong emphasis on digitisation and automation, the airport is also leveraging its strategic location - just 14 km from Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNPA), the country’s largest container port - to build a robust multi-modal transportation network.

A spokesperson for Navi Mumbai International Limited said the airport’s integrated cargo terminal is in the final stages of development and has been built in line with regulatory requirements. Cargo operations are expected to commence alongside passenger flights, enabling seamless sea–air connectivity from day one.
