Air India Group will begin shifting some flights from Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) to the new Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) in December, starting with four daily domestic services operated by Air India Express. The transition is planned in phases and is expected to extend to international routes from January 2027. Services to Kuwait are planned for January, subject to regulatory approvals, while existing flights to Oman will move to NMIA. The group will progressively shift flights to destinations including Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, Doha, Muscat and Sharjah, with completion targeted for the Northern Summer 2027 aviation season. Passengers will need to check departure airports as routes change.
