The closure of operations at Mumbai airport’s primary runway from November 7 to May 2014 for a fixed period during the day may result in many domestic flights getting delayed and also in certain destinations getting clubbed together. International flights, however, won’t be affected as they mainly operate at night.
However, a Mumbai International Airport Limited spokesperson said domestic operations won’t be affected much, even on days when maintenance will take place.
The primary runway at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport will remain shut between 9am and 5pm for the installation of two rapid-exit taxiways. These will help the aircraft in moving away to the sides faster after landing and, subsequently, ease the congestion at the airport, sources said.
