Akasa Air to Move Mumbai-Jeddah Flights to Navi Mumbai Airport from December 2026
Akasa Air will shift its Mumbai-Jeddah flights from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to Navi Mumbai International Airport starting December 2026, supporting the development of Mumbai's dual-airport system. This move aims to enhance international connectivity and expand travel options. Concurrently, IndiGo and Air India plan to transfer some operations to Navi Mumbai to facilitate redevelopment and safety upgrades at Mumbai's Terminal 1. Akasa Air has also extended suspensions of flights to Jeddah and Riyadh due to security concerns in Saudi Arabia.
