The airline and Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL) announced the phased transition today. The move is expected to strengthen international connectivity from Navi Mumbai and expand travel options for passengers flying between the Mumbai region and Saudi Arabia.
Bookings for Akasa Air's Mumbai-Jeddah flights operating from Navi Mumbai International Airport opened on October 26, 2026. The transition builds on the airline's existing operations at NMIA, with the relocation of its Jeddah services expected to contribute to the airport's development as an important aviation gateway for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
The region's dual-airport system is intended to provide travellers with greater choice and more convenient access to air travel as operations develop across both airports.
For passengers travelling to Jeddah, the change means Akasa Air's Mumbai-Jeddah services will depart from Navi Mumbai International Airport instead of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport from December 2026.
Travellers planning their journeys will need to check their tickets and flight details carefully to ensure they reach the correct airport. Passengers should also account for their onward travel arrangements when planning their journeys to and from the airport.
The transition marks another step in the development of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region's dual-airport system, with Akasa Air's international operations set to expand the role of Navi Mumbai International Airport in connecting the region with Saudi Arabia.
