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

The operator frames the planned pause as routine post-monsoon safety work.

Overview

  • Mumbai International Airport Limited confirmed both intersecting runways 09/27 and 14/32 will be non-operational from 11:00 to 17:00 on November 20.
  • No flights will take off or land during the closure, and airlines are expected to issue revised schedules for affected services.
  • A mandatory NOTAM was circulated six months in advance to give airlines and ground handlers time to adjust operations and staffing.
  • The maintenance program includes runway surface repairs and technical checks of lighting, markings, and drainage systems.
  • Passengers are urged to verify updated departure and arrival times as one of the world’s busiest single-runway operations anticipates disruptions, with local reporting citing roughly 900 daily movements.
