In the presence of regulators from India’s aviation sector, the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) took a monumental step toward becoming operational with its first commercial flight validation test. Runway 08/26 at NMIA (Airport Code: NMI) came alive as an A320 aircraft from Indigo Airlines successfully touched down, marking a historic milestone in the airport’s journey toward full operation. The aircraft was welcomed with a traditional water salute by two Crash Fire Tenders (CFT) of NMIA. This pivotal moment, witnessed by senior officials from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Airports Authority of India (AAI), Customs, Immigration, CISF, CIDCO, IMD, BCAS, as well as Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL) and other key stakeholders, signals the airport’s alignment with global aviation standards.
