Mumbai flights to shift to Navi Mumbai airport during Terminal 1 redevelopment

Adani Airports and Air India Group have jointly announced a phased transition plan to relocate flight operations from Mumbai's Terminal 1 to Navi Mumbai International Airport. The shift comes as a major redevelopment project is set to commence at the existing Indira Gandhi International Airport facility in Mumbai.

The Terminal 1 redevelopment project is part of broader infrastructure modernization efforts at India's busiest airport. As renovation work progresses, the relocation of operations to the new Navi Mumbai facility will ensure continuity of flight services and minimize disruptions to passengers during the construction period.

Navi Mumbai International Airport, developed by Adani Airports Holdings Limited, is positioned as a major aviation hub for the Mumbai metropolitan region. The facility aims to alleviate capacity constraints at the existing airport while providing enhanced infrastructure and passenger amenities.

The transition plan involves coordination between airport operators, airlines, and relevant aviation authorities to ensure a smooth handover of routes and services. Air India Group, as one of India's primary carriers, will play a central role in managing the operational shift and maintaining service schedules during the transition period.

Details regarding the timeline for the phased transition and specific routes to be relocated are expected to be finalized in consultations with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation and other stakeholders.
