Just six days before Navi Mumbai Airport opens for commercial operations, India Today TV’s Marya Shakil talks to Jeet Adani, Director, Adani Airports Holdings — inside the airport itself — for an exclusive ‘Jab We Met’ conversation. Walking through the terminal and taking a ride around the facility, Jeet Adani speaks about the scale of the project, the team effort behind it, and why this is “just the first start” with multiple phases still to come. He explains how Navi Mumbai Airport becomes Mumbai’s biggest “growth unlock” — boosting global connectivity and building a transport ecosystem planned from day one, spanning rail, road, metro, water and future-ready mobility. The interview also tackles key concerns: ecology and mangroves, flood preparedness (including raising the site by 8 meters), and what sustainability looks like in practice — electrified equipment, a roadmap to 100% green energy, zero liquid discharge, and readiness for sustainable aviation fuel. Plus: a peek into the airport’s modern, experiential art; thoughts on leadership and family values; the passenger experience playbook; and why aviation needs resilience as India’s travel demand accelerates.
