Travelers flying through Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport should take note of an important operational update, as the airport has scheduled a six-hour runway closure on May 7, from 11 AM to 5 PM.
The temporary suspension of flight operations is part of a planned pre-monsoon maintenance exercise, aimed at strengthening airport infrastructure ahead of the heavy rainfall season. Such annual maintenance activities are critical to ensuring runway durability, proper drainage systems, and overall operational safety during monsoons, which often bring intense weather conditions to Mumbai.
Airport authorities have emphasised that these preventive measures are essential to maintain high standards of safety and efficiency, minimizing disruptions during peak monsoon months. By proactively carrying out inspections and repairs, the airport aims to ensure smoother flight operations even under challenging weather conditions.
Passengers are strongly advised to stay updated with their respective airlines regarding flight schedules, as services during this maintenance window may be rescheduled, delayed, or cancelled. Travelers planning their journeys on May 7 should make necessary arrangements in advance to avoid inconvenience.
