Overview
- Navi Mumbai International Airport opened on 25 December 2025, with current coverage emphasizing a deliberately inclusive tone that continues to circulate widely online.
- A collective singing of the National Anthem by workers, passengers, guests and dignitaries became one of the most shared moments from the terminal.
- The evening featured a surprise drone show that paid tribute to the thousands who built the airport, shifting attention from spectacle to gratitude.
- Gautam Adani and family greeted attendees across the terminal, while first-flight passengers received traditional welcomes with flowers, tilak, aarti and rose-water.
- Sports figures Suryakumar Yadav and Sunil Chhetri participated alongside staff and veterans rather than as headliners, and some coverage of the event appeared as a VMPL-supplied advertorial on News18.
