Additionally, Rapido enhances daily mobility beyond airport limits by offering affordable, app-based options, including bike taxis and on-demand autos, which cater to both intra-city and inter-city travel.

In addition to its mobility services, Rapido is expanding its presence in the urban
delivery sector with offerings such as Rapido Parcel (for courier delivery) and a dedicated food delivery platform. Both services offer transparent pricing models, featuring flat fees and low commissions, providing value to both small businesses and everyday users.

This collaboration aligns with NIA’s vision to become a truly multimodal transport hub. In addition to app-based cab services, the airport is actively working to offer a range of connectivity options to suit every traveller’s needs, including private vehicles, public transportation, and other planned services.

With NIA on track to become a central aviation hub, making it easy for people to get to and from the airport is a key priority. We’re working with government bodies and partners to enhance road access and expand public transport options, ensuring every journey is smooth, convenient, and tailored to passengers’ needs.
