Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani visited the Navi Mumbai International Airport site on Sunday, highlighting its progress as it nears operational readiness. Sharing visuals from his visit on social media, Adani called the airport a world-class project set to redefine connectivity and growth when inaugurated in June 2025. 

The airport, developed in multiple phases, recently marked a major milestone with its first commercial flight validation test in December 2024. In its initial phase, it will have a passenger capacity of 20 million per annum (MPPA) and handle 800,000 tons of cargo annually. The facility includes a 3,700-meter runway capable of handling large commercial aircraft, with two parallel runways allowing simultaneous take-offs and landings. Once fully completed, the airport is expected to handle over 90 MPPA. 

Adani Airport Holdings Ltd, a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises, has been leading the project. The group entered the airport sector in 2019 and currently operates key airports in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mangaluru, Jaipur, Guwahati, and Thiruvananthapuram. According to the company, Adani Airports now manages 25% of India’s passenger traffic and 33% of its air cargo movement.
