The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai will remain shut for all flight operations for six hours on May 10 to conduct pre-monsoon maintenance and repairs, according to an official order issued by the CSMIA.
In this regard, the CSMIA said both the runways, RWYs 14/32 and 09/27, will remain shut for all flight operations on May 10 between 11 AM to 5 PM.
“Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) will be closed on May 10 for pre-monsoon maintenance and repair work, both #MumbaiAirport runways – RWY 14/32 & 09/27 will remain non-operational on May 10, 2022, from 1100hrs to 1700hrs. All operations will resume as usual post 1700 hrs on the same day,” the CSMIA said in a tweet
Notably, the runway closure is a yearly practice at the airport and a contingency plan is aimed to help maintain operational continuity and ensure passengers’ safety.
A NOTAM has already been issued to all airlines and normal operations would resume that day after the maintenance works on the two runways are completed.
However, the CSMIA has advised all passengers to check the May 10 flight schedules with their respective airlines to avoid any inconveniences.
