The primary and secondary runways of Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport will remain non-operational between 11 am and 5 pm to carry out pre-monsoon runway maintenance.
As part of its annual infrastructure upkeep, Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) will be closed for a few hours on May 8 to carry out pre-monsoon runway maintenance. Both the primary and the secondary runways will remain non-operational between 11 am and 5 pm as part of the airport’s monsoon contingency programme aimed at improving runway safety and maintaining seamless operations during the rainy season.
The airport authorities have said that flight services and passenger movement would not be hit due to the closure.
“Six-month advance Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) has been issued, giving airlines and concerned stakeholders sufficient time to reschedule flights. Due to this foresight, airport officials assure that there would be no inconvenience in passenger movement or operations of airlines,” said a CSMIA spokesperson.
