The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) in Mumbai will shut down for six hours on October 17, 2023, according to media reports. The airport’s both runways, 09/27 and 14/32, will be closed from 11 AM to 5 PM in order to conduct post-monsoon runway maintenance. These runways will be temporarily non-operational for all flight operations during this period for comprehensive runway repairs.
An advance Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) regarding the closure had been issued six months in advance to facilitate post-monsoon preventive maintenance activities. The temporary closure will allow for necessary repairs and maintenance to uphold the airport’s infrastructure standards. This annual practice is part of a series of activities aimed at ensuring operational continuity and passenger safety.
CSMIA in co-operation with all key stakeholders has accordingly scheduled flights to ensure smooth completion of the maintenance. Mumbai received a fair amount of rainfall this monsoon season with the city, making this activity essential. On September 14, 2023, eight people including the pilot and co-pilot were injured after a private aircraft skidded off the runway while landing at the Mumbai airport.
