Air India will conduct a crucial test flight at Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) in April 2025, assessing its readiness for widebody international aircraft before its official opening on April 17. The airport, a $2.1 billion project, aims to alleviate congestion at Mumbai’s current airport and enhance connectivity. Low-cost carriers, including IndiGo, are expected to lead operations, while Air India plans a dual-hub strategy to optimize passenger flow between airports.
