Currently operating between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM, the airport will soon support flights beyond these hours, enabling smoother scheduling and increased connectivity. This expansion reflects growing passenger demand and rising airline confidence in the new airport’s infrastructure.

Signalling this shift, IndiGo has opened bookings for a new Navi Mumbai–Delhi flight, scheduled to commence on February 1, 2026. Notably, the flight will depart at 8:50 PM, making it the first service to operate beyond NMIA’s existing time window.

The move marks an important milestone in NMIA’s phased operational growth, allowing airlines greater flexibility while offering passengers more convenient travel options. With extended timings, the airport is expected to gradually scale up night operations and accommodate higher traffic volumes in the coming months.
