On November 20, Mumbai International Airport will close both of its runways from 11 am to 5 pm for essential post-monsoon maintenance. This closure is part of a planned exercise that was organized six months prior, ensuring that airlines have adequate notice to adjust their flight schedules. The maintenance work will encompass detailed inspections, surface repairs, and technical assessments of critical infrastructure, including runway lighting, markings, and drainage systems. The airport's proactive communication through a Notice to Airmen aims to minimize disruptions for travelers and airlines alike, highlighting the importance of maintaining airport safety and operational efficiency.
