By 2024, the eagerly anticipated Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) would be open for business.
Eknath Shinde, the chief minister of Maharashtra, and Devendra Fadnavis, his deputy, flew over the site in a helicopter for an aerial survey, personally inspected the runway and other amenities, and discussed the progress with senior authorities.
A presentation was made by Adani Group to the duo of Shinde-Fadnavis giving an update of the NMIA.
“The NMIA is going to be very important. The bhoomi-pujan ceremony of the airport was conducted at the auspicious hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and it is he who would do the inauguration,” Shinde said.
“We are glad to see that the work of the development of the airport is satisfactory and at a fast pace and that all efforts are underway to make this project open to the public soon,” he said.
