Navi Mumbai International Airport - Upcoming Project in Mumbai

Navi Mumbai is all set to witness a new era of connectivity with the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport. The airport project is moving forward after the GVK-led Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) won the bid to develop it on February 14, 2017.

Expected to open in 2019, this new international airport will pave the way for seamless connectivity across Navi Mumbai. The development is poised to bring positive changes to the region, attracting new real estate projects and making the area highly viable for investment. Not only will it enhance travel convenience, but it will also put Navi Mumbai prominently on the global map!

According to CIDCO Vice Chairman and Managing Director Bhushan Gagrani, the first flight from the proposed Navi Mumbai International Airport was expected to take off in 2019.

Strategic location

The Navi Mumbai International Airport aims to ease congestion at Mumbai’s existing Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. Located on National Highway 4B near Panvel, it is about 35 km away from the current airport.

Impressive capacity and design

• Terminal area: approximately 2,700,000 sq ft
• Cargo area: approximately 1,100,000 sq ft

First phase to handle up to 10 million passengers annually. This makes it the largest airport of its kind in the country.

The terminal will be built uniquely in the middle of both runways, offering complete access from either side. The approach road will offer breathtaking views of the airport on both sides. The presence of large water bodies in the vicinity will add to the scenic beauty of the airport, making it a visually appealing starting point for any journey.

Impact on real estate and lifestyle

Thanks to this major infrastructural boost, commercial and residential growth in Panvel is expected to soar.
