What happened

Adani-owned Navi Mumbai International Airport will launch international operations on July 15 with Air India Express flights to Abu Dhabi, opening bookings

Key facts

  • July 15
  • 26%
  • 18 weekly flights
  • 20,000 passengers/day
  • 150 departures/arrivals
  • 50,000/day by year-end
  • 380 ATMs/day

Why this matters

Evaluate JV or anchor-tenant partnerships with Adani for NMIA retail surfaces now, as early positioning in India's second-busiest metro catchment will be materially harder once 18 weekly flights expand.
