Navi Mumbai Airport: Higher fares spark equalization proposal with Mumbai

• Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) to begin phased flight services from December 25.
• Passengers report higher ticket prices at NMIA compared to Mumbai Airport (CSMIA).
• Higher aviation fees at NMIA are attributed to its ₹20,000 crore Greenfield development cost.
• Adani Airport Holdings proposed designating both airports as a "Group of Airports" to equalize fees.
• The proposal, approved by CIDCO, aims to standardize aviation fees, potentially balancing ticket prices between both airports.

Why It Matters: Proposed fee equalization could change flight costs at Mumbai and Navi Mumbai airports.
