Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) has crossed the 3 million passenger mark since start of the commercial operations on 25 December 2025, marking a significant milestone in its rapid rise as one of India’s most promising new aviation gateways
This milestone is supported by NMIA’s strong operational performance and passenger-focused service standards. In August, the airport recorded an average last-bag delivery performance of 94%, comparable to global benchmarks and reflecting its commitment to efficient, seamless airport operations.
Building on this momentum, NMIA’s network now spans more than 40 destinations, strengthening its role in connecting the Mumbai Metropolitan Region with key domestic markets. With six new domestic destinations, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Ranchi, Darbhanga, Guwahati and Sindhudurg, set to join its network, the airport continues to expand travel choices and enhance connectivity for passengers.
“Crossing the 3 million passenger milestone marks an important step in NMIA’s growth journey and reaffirms its increasing relevance in India’s aviation sector. Our continued emphasis on operational excellence, service reliability and delivering a seamless passenger experience is the core of this progress. As we expand into newer domestic and international markets, supported by additional routes and airline partners, NMIA is poised to further strengthen connectivity of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region and establish itself as a key aviation gateway for Western India,” said a Navi Mumbai International Airport spokesperson.
Since launch, NMIA has expanded from 13 to 46 destinations and has handled approximately 22,500 commercial flights. In less than 200 days, the airport also commenced scheduled international services, connecting Navi Mumbai with Abu Dhabi.
The airport continues to further expand its international network through the addition of new airlines and routes in November 2026, ahead of the winter schedule. This planned expansion will reinforce NMIA’s position as a future-ready domestic and international gateway for Western India.
