Navi Mumbai Airport to Get Water Taxi Boost from South Mumbai, Here's How it Will Benefit Passengers

Between the Radio Club jetty in South Mumbai and the new Navi Mumbai International Airport, there will soon be a water taxi service. This will make Mumbai's transportation system a lot better. The service is meant to make connectivity faster. It will take fewer minutes instead of more than an hour. The airport will open in April 2025, and this water route is meant to help the roads stay clear and make it easier for people.

About Mumbai's International Airport

Many people are looking forward to the opening of Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) in Maharashtra. The Ulwe airport covers 1,160 hectares and is being built up in stages. The first terminal will be able to handle 20 million people a year. Adani Airports will be in charge of the project, which is meant to make Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai less busy. It will have cutting-edge facilities for both people and goods.

How the Water Taxi will Improve Connections

ThevMaharashtra Maritime Board is building a special water taxi station at the airport to make getting to NMIA easier. At the same time, the Radio Club pier in Colaba will be built by the Mumbai Port Trust. People will be able to skip busy roads like the MTHL and get to the airport in just 40 minutes with the water cab. The taxis will run on batteries, which will make them a greener way to get around with lower carbon pollution.

Timeline to Expect

The first part of the Navi Mumbai International Airport will open on April 17, 2025, and full services will begin in May 2025. The water cab service should start around the same time, making the trip between Mumbai's two main cities faster, cleaner, and smarter.
