Navi Mumbai Airport Adds International Routes


Date:

(MENAFN- Bangladesh Monitor) Dhaka: Navi Mumbai International Airport is set to expand its international connectivity, with Air India Express and IndiGo shifting selected services from Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) from late 2026.

The transfers will support Terminal 1's redevelopment at CSMIA, while both airlines continue operating at the existing airport.

Air India Express plans to begin the transition in December 2026 with four daily domestic flights from Navi Mumbai. Its Oman services and proposed Kuwait flights are expected to move in January 2027, subject to approval for the Kuwait route. Services to Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, Doha, Muscat and Sharjah will also transfer, with the airline targeting completion by the start of the 2027 northern summer schedule.

IndiGo will launch international operations from Navi Mumbai in February 2027, aiming to serve 12 destinations by July. Eleven transferred routes will connect the airport with Bahrain, Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah, Madinah, Kuwait, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Muscat, Dhaka and Jakarta. A new daily Kathmandu service will complete the network.

Selected domestic flights will also move to support connections. However, some IndiGo services affected by the redevelopment will shift to CSMIA's Terminal 2 instead, making it important for passengers to verify their departure airports.

The changes will also create capacity at CSMIA for IndiGo's planned international expansion across Asia, Africa and Europe in 2027. Further route details have yet to be announced.
