Flight movement smooth at Mumbai, barring a few delays

Mumbai: Flight movement out of Mumbai airport was smooth on Thursday barring a few delays. The secondary runway solely handled flight movement because the visibility was good. For the past few days the Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) had to suspend repairs on the main runway because the
smaller runway is not equipped with the Instrument Landing System, a ground aid used for flight movement during poor visibility.
On Thursday, however, the main runway was shut for eight hours from 9am to 5pm as usual, said a MIAL spokesperson. The runway is shut daily for that period, except Sundays since November 1. A Jet Airways Mumbai-Chandigarh flight was amongst the few flights delayed because of bad weather in north India. The flight scheduled to leave at 9:40 am left the city airport at 11:54 am.
