No flight diversion from Mumbai to Pune

Pune: Airport Authority of India (AAI), Pune director Captain S K Mahajan said the Lohegaon international airbase hadn't received any official communique pertaining to diversion of flights from Mumbai on account of restrictions on flight movements at the Mumbai airport every Tuesday.
The Mumbai airport will witness closure of runways from 12 noon to 6 pm for the next 22 Tuesdays for repair and reconstruction work, suspending flight operations during the period. However, a section of the runway will be open on Tuesdays, over which only private jets and ATRs can take off and land.
Kingfisher Airlines, senior general manager (corporate communication) Prakash Mirpur said, “On the domestic route network, 31 flights operate out of and into Mumbai. We have made either a timing change or flight number change on account of this closure. These changes in timings range from 15 minutes to 2 hours and will apply only on Tuesdays.” Four flights have been cancelled on Tuesdays: Mumbai-Goa IT 131 / Goa - Mumbai IT 132 and Mumbai-New Delhi IT 309 / New Delhi Mumbai IT 310.
On the international route network, there has been a change in the timings of flights on Mumbai-London Heathrow sector and Mumbai-Singapore sector, said Mirpur.
