Navi Mumbai airport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also, it is developing Navi Mumbai airport<\/a>, which will likely<\/strong> be operational by 2024. Citing people familiar with the development, Business Standard reported that Adani Group<\/a><\/strong> officials gave 2 presentations on the airport plans to potential investors last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mumbai airport is the 2nd busiest airport in the country and there is further no scope for capacity expansion beyond six crore passengers per year as it is in the heart of the city, the financial daily, mentioned, citing one of the presentations. This means that there is effectively no new slot available for airlines at Mumbai airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Adani Group presentation mentioned that the Mumbai airport had 2 major airlines with domestic and international airlines\u2014IndiGo and Air India. One of these airlines may be shifted to Navi Mumbai International Airport<\/a><\/strong> so that the load on Mumbai International Airport (MIAL) can be reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
