Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIAL) is set to be inaugurated in April next year, followed by the launch of commercial operations in May, said a senior executive from the Adani Airport Holdings (AAHL), after the first commercial validation test was conducted at the under-construction airport on Sunday.
The airport will start international operations by July next year, said Arun Bansal, chief executive officer, AAHL, a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises, the flagship company of Adani group.
"After the inauguration on April 17, we need roughly about four weeks for security sweep and other requirements of the airport procedures which is why we are looking at the second half of May 2025 for domestic operations," he told reporters after the IndiGo A320 6E9165 aircraft with no passengers on board touched down at 1:32 pm at NMIAL on Sunday.
The plane took off from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) in Mumbai at around 12:30 pm.
