In view of monsoon and regular maintenance, operations at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport will be completely shut down on May 9. Both the runways will remain closed from 11 am to 5 pm.
This is CSMIA’s monsoon contingency plan, where the two runways remain non-operational for pre-monsoon maintenance and repair works.
All operations are likely to resume as usual after 5 pm. In this regard, A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) was also issued to alert the stakeholders about the temporary closure of the operations.
This contingency plan is also focused on ensuring passenger safety, as landing and take-offs during monsoon can face obstacles due to waterlogging and other such issues.
