Navi Mumbai Airport to Open in June, Confirms Gautam Adani.

The much-awaited Navi Mumbai International Airport is set to be inaugurated in June, nearly two months behind its original April 18 schedule. The delay is attributed to pending work on the terminal building, with passenger operations expected to commence in July following a security clearance.

The revised timeline was confirmed after an inspection by Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group, which is developing the airport. During the review, senior executives also tested the check-in system by issuing a dummy boarding pass.

In a social media post, Adani described the project as a “world-class airport taking shape”, adding that it will “redefine connectivity and growth” and be “a true gift to India.”

The first phase of Navi Mumbai International Airport will have the capacity to handle 20 million passengers and 0.8 million tonnes of cargo annually.

Regulatory approvals are progressing, with a trial flight by IndiGo conducted in January to validate approach and landing procedures. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) assessed the airport’s operational readiness in February, followed by the publication of aerodrome data earlier this month—a key step toward obtaining the aerodrome license.
