After Mumbai and the upcoming Navi Mumbai airports, Maharashtra will soon have another airport at Palghar in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).
Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday told the Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha on Friday that looking at the rising air traffic need, the state government is exploring the possibility of constructing the airport at Palghar.
The airport will serve as MMR’s third airport after the operational Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) and the under construction Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) in Panvel.
