Navi Mumbai Airport Completes Passenger Trial

The Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) has successfully completed its first passenger simulation test on November 29 and 30, 2025.

This test involved hundreds of volunteers acting as mock passengers to check all airport processes, from check-in to baggage claim.

Airlines like IndiGo, Akasa Air, and Air India Express participated in this trial.

The airport, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 8, 2025, is set to start regular commercial flights on December 25, 2025.

The airport is expected to be one of India's largest greenfield airports and will help reduce the passenger load on Mumbai's crowded Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA).

The successful trial is a big step towards making the airport fully operational.
