The Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) will begin operations on December 25, but access will initially be limited to road-based travel.
Dedicated metro and direct rail connections are still under development and will be introduced in later phases. Passengers can reach the airport via private vehicles, taxis and buses, with the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link offering the fastest route, though with tolls.
Suburban train users can travel up to Targhar station and complete the last stretch by road. Authorities advise travellers to plan journeys carefully and allow extra travel time.
