While addressing mediapersons after a Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leaders' meet here, Mr. Pawar said reports submitted by various State agencies clearly favoured Navi Mumbai over Kalyan as a suitable location.
“Mumbai's connectivity should improve. The Government of India should select, finalise and make available a suitable site for the airport soon,” he said.
