Earlier, CIDCO Managing Director and Vice-Chairman Vijay Singhal confirmed that preparations for commercial operations are on schedule. The NMIA project has been a long-awaited milestone for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, promising to boost regional air connectivity and ease congestion at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA).While no official statement has been issued by NMIA authorities yet, Maharashtra Times reported, citing sources, that the ticket booking for direct flights from NMIA is likely to begin after November 15.
