Mumbai airport’s two runways will remain closed for six hours on November 19
Mumbai. Flight operations at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport will remain completely suspended for six hours on November 19. Due to the annual post-monsoon maintenance work, both runways at the airport will be temporarily closed from 11 am to 5 pm. During this period, no aircraft will arrive and no flights will be able to depart.
According to Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), maintenance and technical checks will be carried out during this period on both runways – RWY 09/27 and RWY 14/32. The objective is to ensure runway safety, operational reliability and compliance with international aviation standards.
Flight timings may change during the maintenance work. The runway surface will be inspected and repaired. Along with this, technical checks of runway lighting, markings and the drainage system will also be carried out. The airport management has already issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) in this regard. Airlines have also been informed in time so that they can make necessary changes to their flight schedules.
Passengers travelling from Mumbai or arriving there on November 19 have been advised to check the latest timing and status of their flight with the airline concerned before leaving for the airport. Flights will not remain suspended for the entire day apart from this six-hour period.
