Mumbai airports: Space crunch to hit parking of choppers


Mumbai: Space crunch may hit parking of helicopters and small airplanes at the two airports in Mumbai, with the Airports Authority of India (AAI) planning to implement stringent guidelines to decongest the aerodromes and their runways.
Lack of parking space is more acute at the main Chhatrapati Shivaji International ( CSI) Airport and implementation of the guidelines would begin soon, airport sources said, adding "parking is a major issue due to the space crunch."
AAI guidelines mandate that at least 75 metres on either side of the runway has to be kept vacant, they said, adding that no obstruction, including parking of aircraft, are allowed within this limit.
