Panaji/Mumbai, December 25, 2025: The much-anticipated Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) began operations today, providing much-needed relief to Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, which handles over 50 million passengers annually.

Constructed in a massive ₹19,650 crore investment, the first phase of NMIA has been designed to handle 20 million passengers per year, with state-of-the-art facilities, seamless passenger flow, and enhanced connectivity. The airport commenced scheduled operations with commercial flights to Delhi and Goa, operated by major carriers including IndiGo and Air India Express.

The inauguration on Christmas Eve featured a spectacular drone show that paid tribute to the thousands of construction workers who contributed to the airport’s creation. Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group, welcomed the first passengers, including soldiers, farmers, and airport staff, highlighting the airport as a symbol of inclusive development benefiting all Mumbaikars.

Officials expressed optimism that the new hub will significantly reduce congestion at Mumbai’s main airport, promote regional economic growth, and strengthen India’s aviation network. Plans for further expansion in the coming years aim to increase capacity and introduce more international routes.

FLY91 Launches Direct Goa–Solapur Flights, Strengthening Regional Air Connectivity Across Maharashtra

FLY91, India’s fast-growing regional airline, has expanded its network with the launch of direct flights between Goa and Solapur. This latest addition underscores the airline’s continued commitment to improving last-mile connectivity and linking underserved destinations across the country.

With Solapur now on its route map, FLY91 connects a total of eight destinations, including four in Maharashtra—Pune, Jalgaon, Sindhudurg, and now Solapur. The airline’s strategic focus on regional cities is helping bridge critical gaps in India’s aviation ecosystem, making air travel more accessible and efficient.

This new direct service connects two important centers—Goa, India’s premier beach and tourism destination, and Solapur, a culturally rich city in southwestern Maharashtra. Solapur holds historical, religious, and industrial significance and serves as a major access point to five renowned pilgrimage sites: Pandharpur, Tuljapur, Akkalkot, Gangapur, and Bhimashankar. The new flight is expected to particularly benefit religious tourists, many of whom previously relied on long and less convenient modes of travel.

According to Manoj Chacko, MD and CEO of FLY91, “This launch showcases FLY91’s mission to enhance connectivity to vital but traditionally underserved destinations.” The Goa–Solapur route is not only a boost to religious tourism, but also supports business, academic, and leisure travel between the two regions. With Solapur’s strong presence in the textile industry and Goa’s growing role as a technology and lifestyle hub, the connection is set to foster greater regional collaboration.

The airline also expressed its gratitude to key stakeholders including the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Government of Maharashtra, whose support has been crucial in enabling this growth. FLY91 continues to operate from Manohar International Airport (Mopa) in Goa, where it is steadily strengthening its presence as a regional hub for western and southern India.

Bookings for the Goa–Solapur route are now open, offering passengers a quicker, more reliable alternative to road or rail journeys. With regional air travel playing an increasingly important role in India’s transportation landscape, FLY91 is well-positioned to lead the charge in connecting Bharat’s heartlands with speed, safety, and comfort.
