Akasa Air to Begin Operations from Navi Mumbai Airport on December 25

Akasa Air announced on Saturday that it will commence flight operations from the newly built Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) in a phased manner starting December 25. The launch marks a significant expansion for the carrier as NMIA becomes its second base in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

The airline’s first flight from NMIA will operate on the Delhi–Navi Mumbai route on December 25. Services to Goa, Kochi and Ahmedabad will follow in the days ahead, strengthening connectivity between Navi Mumbai and key domestic destinations.

Akasa Air said it plans to steadily increase its presence at NMIA, targeting up to 300 domestic and 50 international weekly departures in the coming months. The move is expected to boost passenger convenience, ease congestion at the Mumbai airport, and enhance regional air travel capacity as India’s aviation sector continues to expand.
