Online Reviews Summary
Navi Mumbai International Airport (VANM (NMI)) commenced commercial operations on December 25, 2025, marking its official opening as a second aviation gateway for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Initial traveler sentiment, based on the very first days of operation, suggests a positive outlook on the airport's infrastructure and its potential to alleviate congestion at the existing Mumbai airport. However, as the airport is still in its nascent stages, some aspects are yet to be fully operational or streamlined.
What Travelers Love
- Modern and Well-Built Infrastructure: Travelers have noted the airport's excellent construction and planning, designed to efficiently handle future crowds. The terminal features a lotus-shaped design and includes clear international-standard signage with black backgrounds and white and blue fonts.
- Enhanced Passenger Experience Initiatives: The airport has introduced an experiential zone called NaviVerse, a 1,000 square meter area after security checks that utilizes LED projection to showcase cultural narratives of Maharashtra and India. A Meet & Greet service 'Pranaam' is also available, offering assistance with pick-up/drop-off, baggage, and personal support for elderly and premium passengers.
- Strategic Location and Future Connectivity: NMI is strategically located to offer easy access to commercial hubs and tourist attractions. It is connected via National Highway 348 and Aamra Marg. Further connectivity is planned with two six-lane coastal roads, the Navi Mumbai Metro Line 1, the proposed Gold Line (Line 8) of the Mumbai Metro, and an interchange with the Mumbai Suburban Railway's Port Line at Targhar Railway station, with some road projects expected to be completed by early 2026.
Common Complaints
- Ongoing Construction and Incomplete Facilities: Several parts of the airport are still under construction, and it may take a few months for it to be fully operational. Facilities like the Arrival Forecourt, a transit hotel called The Swirl, and a tea-focused destination called Tea Khana are scheduled to open in January or between February and March 2026.
- Transportation Challenges: While ride-sharing services like Uber and Ola are available, the availability of cabs is currently less compared to Mumbai's other airport. Drivers have reported difficulty locating pick-up points, and the car parking is noted to be approximately 2km from the arrival pick-up area. Additionally, clear signage for highways and flyovers was described as confusing due to new roads and pending work. An auto-rickshaw stand was also not readily found by one traveler.
Navi Mumbai International Airport shows significant potential with its modern design and strategic planning, aimed at becoming a major aviation hub and easing the burden on Mumbai's existing airport. However, as it has only recently commenced operations, travelers should anticipate some teething issues, particularly regarding complete facility availability and seamless ground transportation, while further construction and operational streamlining continue.
