Mumbai: Two runways at the Mumbai airport remained closed for five hours on Saturday, as planned, to carry out infrastructure upgrade.
No flights landed at the airport between 11.30am and 4.30pm. Flight operations will be suspended for five hours on March 3 and March 10-the next two Saturdays.
"Since airlines and the aviation regulator were informed of the closure about three-and-a-half months in advance, passengers were not inconvenienced," said a Mumbai International Airport Pvt Ltd spokesperson. All the airlines had worked out flight schedules in accordance with the runway closure and so flight timings were changed accordingly, he added.
The work carried out involved construction of a new rapid exit taxiway to enhance efficiency of the main runway, 09-27.
