Nitin Gadkari : Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said that the proposed water taxi service will enable people to reach Mumbai from Navi Mumbai International Airport in just 17 minutes, thereby reducing travel time.
It is challenging to catch a flight amid the hustle and bustle of Mumbai and traffic jams. People take two to two and a half hours to reach the airport or railway station. There is a risk of missing the flight if you get stuck in a traffic jam. But there is a possibility of relief with the commencement of operations of Navi Mumbai Airport in 2025. From this new airport you will be able to reach any corner of Mumbai in just 17 minutes, which will reduce the travel time significantly.
Will reach airport in just 17 minutes
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said that the proposed water taxi service will enable people to reach Mumbai from Navi Mumbai International Airport in just 17 minutes, thereby reducing travel time. He highlighted the government's plans to improve travel facilities and reduce traffic congestion at an election rally in Thane.
Voting for the assembly elections is to be held in the state on November 20. The international airport at Navi Mumbai is expected to commence operations in March 2025. Gadkari said that once the proposed water taxi service is launched, passengers will be able to reach Navi Mumbai International Airport from any part of Mumbai.
It will take “only 17 minutes”.
You can travel to the airport by water taxi
Gadkari said a 'jetty' has been constructed near the airport, which will help in reducing traffic congestion and air pollution around Mumbai and Thane by using sea routes. Referring to the New Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, he said that once this project is fully operational, the route of external traffic will change and congestion in metropolitan areas will reduce.
