The airport will feature direct metro check-in and a “One-Up End-to-End Baggage Facility” for faster baggage handling. The terminal will reflect Indian culture through digital art and use artificial intelligence (AI) in various operations. Green energy and water conservation are key priorities in its design.

Connectivity to NMIA will improve through a new road from Atal Setu to Kosthal Road, while Metro Line 8 will link both Mumbai and Navi Mumbai airports. A water taxi service will also start soon. The airport can park 350 aircraft and has two runways with separate taxiways.

Once fully operational, NMIA will handle 90 million passengers and 3.25 million tonnes of cargo each year. Together with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, it will create a multi-airport system, easing congestion and boosting India’s aviation growth.
