Navi Mumbai airport to give city a shot in the arm

Mumbai: After the Navi Mumbai airport finally got environmental clearance and centre’s nod, the experts from aviation and industry sectors believe that Mumbai will finally get its much deserved second airport. The work on the project is set to commence next year.
Newsline spoke to officials from the aviation sector as well as other experts in the field of infrastructure who echoed the same sentiments that there was no way the city could have done without the second airport.
“The present airport will be saturated by 2014 or maybe even within next two years and therefore it was essential that the city gets another airport. Even the old airport has its own drawbacks because of its location in the heart of the city,” said Sushil Jiwarajka, Western Region Head, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
