Mumbai Airport to Temporarily Shut Both Runways on October 17 for Post-monsoon Maintenance | Details
The two runways at Mumbai Airport will remain temporarily closed for post-monsoon maintenance works on October 17 and flight operations will also remain suspended during this period. Issuing a statement on Friday, the airport operator said that this closure is part of the annual post-monsoon contingency plan and is slated to be held between 11 am and 5 pm.
A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) has already been issued to the airlines and other stakeholders six months in advance.
“As a part of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport's (CSMIA) comprehensive post-monsoon runway maintenance plan, both runways – RWY 09/27 and RWY 14/32 will be temporarily non-operational on October 17 from 1100 hours to 1700 hours,” the statement reads.
This scheduled temporary closure is a part of CSMIA’s annual post-monsoon preventive maintenance plan, it said.
The facility, which is the second busiest airport in the country after Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, has two crossing runways-09/27 (main runway) and 14/32 (secondary runway).
