Overview
- The airport, which began scheduled commercial operations Tuesday, June 23, 2026, received its first commercial flight from Goa as Star Air launched services to Mundra.
- Star Air will operate an initial network linking Mundra to eight destinations — Mumbai, Goa, Hindon (Delhi NCR), Surat, Belagavi, Bengaluru, Kolhapur and Nanded — making Mundra the carrier’s 32nd Indian destination.
- Mundra's new terminal and a 1,900‑metre runway can handle common narrow‑body jets such as Airbus A320s and Boeing 737s, and the facility includes check‑in counters, lounges, parking, a food court and accessibility features.
- Adani frames the launch as last‑mile air connectivity for Mundra Port and the Mundra SEZ to cut travel time for traders, business travellers and time‑sensitive cargo and to better integrate the port with national supply chains.
- Jeet Adani announced a roughly Rs 90,000 crore–Rs 1 lakh crore five‑year investment plan for Adani’s airport portfolio and said the group will pursue government airport privatisation bids, while route growth at Mundra will be phased based on demand and permissions.
