IndiGo, Air India Not Keen To Relocate To Navi Mumbai Airport Despite Incentives; Here’s Why

About a year ago, AAHL, a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises and the country’s largest airport operator, had expressed its intention to shift at least one carrier to the Navi Mumbai airport, even offering prime slots as an incentive. In a presentation titled ‘Airports Day’ released in October 2022, AAHL stated, “Mumbai has two major airlines with domestic as well as international operations, IndiGo and Air India. One airline can be shifted to Navi Mumbai airport, which will release gridlock at Mumbai airport.” However, both IndiGo and Tata group-controlled Air India have shown no interest in making the shift, according to the Financial Express report.
