Mumbai has officially opened its second airport, Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMI), after two decades of development. This new facility aims to significantly reduce passenger wait times and overcrowding at the existing airport. NMI's first phase can handle 20 million passengers annually, with plans to expand to 90 million by 2032. The airport boasts modern features, sustainability, and increased cargo capacity, positioning Mumbai as a major global hub. While the airport's opening is a significant engineering achievement, its ultimate success may depend on the development of adequate ground transportation links to ease access for travelers.
