Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMI/VANM), also known as NMIA, is a greenfield airport in Ulwe, Navi Mumbai, built to serve the Mumbai Metropolitan Region and ease pressure on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. It is being developed in phases with modern terminals and multimodal connectivity, including proximity to the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link.
💡 Local Tip
Double-check your airport code: NMI is Navi Mumbai, while BOM is Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, and the two are about 40 km apart, so allow significant transfer time if you need to switch between them.
🚖 Getting There
Allow extra time for road travel because the airport area is still developing and traffic on the Sion-Panvel Highway and Mumbai-Pune Expressway can be heavy. Pre-book app-based cabs or use the Atal Setu (Mumbai Trans Harbour Link) for faster access to South Mumbai. If using public transport, check for the latest Metro Line 1 extension or suburban rail connections, as services may be phased in.
