About NMIA: - 

Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) is one of the world’s largest ”Greenfield” international airports, currently proposed for development, offering world-class facilities for passengers, cargo, aircraft's and airlines.

                           The airport site is located in an area of 1160 hectares accommodating two parallel runways for simultaneous & independent operations with a provision of full-length taxiways on either side of the runways. The airfield has been designed to accommodate the new large aircraft's compatible with International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Aerodrome Code 4F.

NMIA will support the rapidly growing air travel needs of Mumbai Metropolitan Region. It is expected to absorb annually 10 million passengers in its first operational year 2017, 25 million by 2020 followed by 45 million passengers in 2025 and ultimately 60 million by 2030.
