Mumbai Airport to Halt Flights for Six Hours on Nov. 20 for Post-Monsoon Runway Maintenance

An early NOTAM gave carriers time to reschedule, reflecting the operator’s safety-first upkeep program.

Overview

  • Both intersecting runways — 09/27 and 14/32 — will be non-operational from 11 am to 5 pm local time.
  • Work will include detailed inspections, surface repairs, and checks of runway lighting, markings, and drainage systems.
  • MIAL described the planned shutdown as a preventive step to ensure continued safety, reliability, and compliance with global aviation standards.
  • Airlines and ground handlers received advance notice via NOTAM to rework flight schedules and manpower planning.
  • Passengers are advised to check updated flight times as the airport, which handles roughly 900–950 daily movements, may see schedule adjustments.
