Navi Mumbai International Airport operations and cargo

Overview

Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) has commenced passenger and cargo operations, managed by Adani Airport Holdings Limited. Initial operations included the launch of direct flights by FLY91 to several regional destinations. However, the transition of freighter operations to the new facility caused logistical challenges, including delays and increased costs for specific pharmaceutical shipments.

Following the initial launch, cargo data for the Maharashtra region indicates significant growth. While Pune Airport saw a substantial increase in domestic cargo volumes, NMIA has demonstrated high international integration, with international freight accounting for 54.6% of its total volume handled between January and September 2026. The airport has established connections with global trade hubs through carriers such as Cathay Cargo and Silk Way West Airlines.
