Navi Mumbai: After decades of anticipation, the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) is officially set to commence commercial operations tomorrow, December 25. The greenfield project, spearheaded by CIDCO and the Adani Group, marks a historic milestone in India’s aviation sector, promising to alleviate the chronic congestion at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA).
Strategic Roadmap For Commuters
To ensure a smooth transition, authorities have released a detailed navigational guide for passengers travelling from the northern Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). Commuters from Thane, Airoli and Ghansoli are advised to follow a specific route to reach Terminal 1 (T1) efficiently:
- From Thane: Travellers can take either Ghodbunder Road or the Saket-Kalwa Road to join the Thane-Belapur Road.
- From Airoli & Ghansoli: Direct access is available via the Thane-Belapur Road.

- The Final Stretch: From the Thane-Belapur Road, vehicles should merge onto the Sion-Panvel Highway. After passing the DY Patil Stadium in Nerul, drivers must take a right turn under the Uran Phata Flyover to enter Amra Marg.
- Arrival: Following Amra Marg through the NMMA Junction Flyover leads directly to the western main entrance of NMIA. A dedicated ramp on the left provides a direct approach to the T1 departures and arrivals area.
