TBM Staff - Mumbai The Navi Mumbai International Airport is set to start domestic operations in April this year, while international operations will start a month after its inauguration in May.
Earlier on December 29, the airport conducted its first flight test. During the test, an IndiGo A320 passenger aircraft landed successfully at runway 26/08 of the airport, paving the way for securing an aerodrome licence to start commercial operations.
The facility will have two runways and four terminals with a capacity to cater to 90 million passengers per annum once all five phases of the project are completed. The first and second phases will have one runway and one terminal building. The subsequent phases 3, 4, and 5 will introduce a second runway, four additional terminals, and an increased passenger capacity of 90 million.
