Mumbai Airport facing heavy congestion due air traffic control problems

Mumbai: Mumbai’s airport saw significant delays yesterday due to problems with the air traffic controls.

Aircraft were stationed on the ground for 90 minutes to 2 hours after door-closure, leading to discomfort for passengers and cascading delays, said a top airline executive.

Earlier in the day, the airport issued a notice that there would be a non-availability of instrument landing systems, but assured that there would be no reduction in capacity. However afternoon onwards delays started and snowballed to in the evening.

Mumbai is India’s second busiest airport and it is usually regarded as one of the most congested ones.
