Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) is likely to remain shut for flight movements on May 9, 2024, for the annual pre-monsoon maintenance works on the runways.
The primary runway 09/27 and the secondary runway 14/32 would be temporarily non-operational for six hours. The maintenance work is targeted to enhance the runway resilience and ensure smooth operations especially during monsoons. The runway surface would be inspected for micro texture and macro texture wear and tear resulting from day-to-day operations. Further, the maintenance would also ensure the durability and longevity of the runway infrastructure by addressing concerns including waterlogging.
