Connectivity between Mangaluru and Mumbai set to improve

Mangaluru International Airport will enable connectivity to Mumbai with the operationalisation of India’s newest greenfield airport – Navi Mumbai International Airport from 25 December 2025. IndiGo will commence a daily direct service between Mangaluru and Navi Mumbai starting Christmas Day. With this, the Mangalore (IXE) – Mumbai (NMI) route will offer travellers the choice of five daily flights – four operated by IndiGo and the other by Air India Express.

This new route to Navi Mumbai is set to enhance connectivity for business and leisure travellers, offering greater convenience and flexibility. At present, Mangaluru International Airport offers connections to Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Thiruvananthapuram. Navi Mumbai will be the seventh domestic destination.
