New Delhi: Airlines are preparing for major peak-hour diversions, cancellations and disruptions to flight schedules at Mumbai’s international airport, the country’s second busiest, on account of a partial shutdown due to the re-carpeting work of the main runway.
The main runway at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA), which can handle 46 flights an hour, will be shut for commercial flights between 9am and 5.30pm from 1 November 2019 to 28 March 2020, a spokesperson of Mumbai International Airport Limited (Mial), which operates the CSIA, told Mint on Friday.
The spokesperson, however, added that the runway will be operating on Sundays, and a few select days during the five-month period.
