Mumbai, March 26 Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) on Thursday said that flight operations at its facility are expected to increase to 1,092 flights per week, with an average of 156 air traffic movements (ATMs) per day, as part of the airlines' summer schedule this year.
The facility is projected to increase daily departures from 22 at launch to 78 by April 2026, as it ramps up capacity under the summer schedule, NMIA said.
The second international airport in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region started commercial operations on December 25 last year.
The schedule adds 30 new domestic routes, linking the airport to a mix of commercial, tourism, and religious centres across India, the private airport operator said.
The facility will be connected to expand to 46 destinations as part of the summer schedule.
The summer schedule is effective from March 29 to October 24 this year.
Cities such as Delhi (with nine daily departures), Goa (with seven), Bengaluru (with six), and Cochin (with five) will have the largest share of daily departures, followed closely by Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Varanasi, and Indore, it said.
Three domestic carriers, IndiGo, Akasa Air, and Air India Express will operate additional flights from the airport during this period, increasing capacity and network coverage, NMIA said.
The expansion is expected to improve connectivity across Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities and support rising passenger demand in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), one of India's largest urban and economic hubs, it said.
