While the Mumbai airport is the only major airport to be restricted to operate 25 departures resulting in poor passenger footfalls, officials expect the pattern of low passenger footfall to continue for the coming six months.
A senior airport official said, “We have never seen the airport this empty.”
“Looking at the situation we don’t see the airport getting back to its regular footfall before November,” the official added.
Airport sources said that the terminal 2 (T2) of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) is operating with lesser staff across their various departments.
