Navi Mumbai: NMI Boarding Passes Start This September, Check Which Airlines Are Onboard
Spread across 1,160 hectares, NMIA boasts two parallel runways spaced 1.55 km apart, with top-tier infrastructure already in place for Phase 1 and 2 operations.
By the end of September, travellers will be handed boarding passes marked with a brand-new airport code: NMI — standing for Navi Mumbai International Airport.
After years of anticipation, Mumbai's second international airport is preparing to welcome its first wave of passengers.
Located in Ulwe, the airport is set to ease the load off Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA), which is bursting at the seams handling over 50 million passengers a year.
When Will Flights Begin?
As per Hindustan Times, domestic flights from NMIA are likely to begin post-monsoon, with international services scheduled for mid-2026. According to Maharashtra's Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, the first flight will take off by September 30.
Which Airlines Are Coming Onboard?
Major Indian carriers are lining up to operate from the airport.
Initial operations will see 8–10 aircraft movements per hour, which will gradually scale up to 30 by mid-2026. The twin parallel runways can eventually handle 45 movements per hour.
How Easy Is It to Get There?
The airport boasts world-class multi-modal connectivity, including road, rail, metro, and even sea routes. The Atal Setu bridge has already reduced travel time from South Mumbai to just 40 minutes.
Thane and Pune will also be accessible within 1–2 hours, making NMIA a convenient option for flyers across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
Built at a cost of Rs 16,700 crore, NMIA is India's most advanced greenfield airport, second only in size to Delhi's IGI Airport. It will initially cater to 20 million passengers, with a vision to scale up to 90 million by 2040.

SC dismisses KAL Airways, Kalanithi Maran pleas against Delhi High Court order in SpiceJet case
The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed appeals by KAL Airways and media baron Kalanithi Maran, challenging the Delhi High Court order which rejected their plea seeking Rs 1,323 crore in damages from SpiceJet and its chief Ajay Singh. A bench of Justices P S Narasimha and A S Chandurkar dismissed the appeals challenging a May 23 high court order, which dismissed their pleas on grounds of delay. The dispute among the parties arose after Singh, who owned SpiceJet earlier, bought it back from Maran after it was grounded for months due to a resource crunch. Differences arose subsequently with Maran and his firm accusing SpiceJet and Singh of breaching the agreement for issue of share warrants and preference shares to them. The matter went to arbitration, which rejected KAL Airways' claim for Rs 1,323 crore but ordered a refund of Rs 579.08 crore, with interest. The two sides challenged this before the high court, where a single judge on July 31, 2023, directed SpiceJet and Singh to refund Rs 270 crore plus interest to KAL Airways and Maran. On appeal, the division bench set aside this order and remanded it back to the single judge for reconsidering the petition under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Though KAL Airways and Maran moved the Supreme Court against this, the top court had dismissed it on July 26, 2024. They once again challenged the single judge order before a division bench, which by order dated May 23, 2025, dismissed it on grounds of delay. This led to the present appeals before the Supreme Court, which were dismissed on Wednesday.

ED files Fema case against Myntra for Rs 1,654 crore FDI violation
Myntra is accused of misusing the wholesale 'cash & carry' route to conduct multi-brand retail trading (MBRT), which is restricted under the FDI policy. The ED found that Myntra received foreign direct investment (FDI) claiming it was for wholesale trading, but routed the majority of sales through Vector E-Commerce Pvt Ltd, a related-party entity that sold directly to consumers. This structure was allegedly used to bypass norms by bifurcating B2B and B2C operations, while actually engaging in retail trade. As per the FDI policy amendments dated April 1, 2010, and October 1, 2010, only 25% of wholesale sales can go to group companies — a cap Myntra allegedly breached. The ED concluded that Myntra and others contravened Section 6(3)(b) of Fema, along with the consolidated FDI policies, resulting in a total contravention amounting to Rs 1,654.35 crore. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a complaint under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (Fema), 1999, against Flipkart-owned fashion etailer Myntra, and its related entities for allegedly violating foreign investment rules to the tune of Rs 1,654.35 crore.
