Important : Mumbai airport to shut for repairs on Oct 17 for six hours

Mumbai, September 23 : The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport here will remain shut for six hours from 11am-5pm to carry out post-monsoon runway maintenance works, an official said here on Friday.

For the comprehensive runway repairs, both runways – 09/27 and 14/32 – will be temporarily non-operational for all flight operations at the designated timings.

This yearly practice of runway maintenance post monsoons is part of the series of activities undertaken with precision and meticulous efforts ensuring operational continuity and passenger safety, thus bringing to life the vision of imbibing passenger first approach at the core of our operations,” said an official.

An advance Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) on the closure has been issued six months in advance for carrying out the post-monsoon preventive maintenance.
