The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport here will
remain shut for six hours, from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on October 17, to carry
out post-monsoon runway maintenance works, an official said on Friday.
For
the comprehensive runway repairs, both runways – 09/27 and 14/32 – will
be temporarily non-operational for all flight operations at the
designated timings.
An advance Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) on the
closure has been issued six months in advance for carrying out the
post-monsoon preventive maintenance.
During the temporary
closure, repairs and maintenance will be taken up to uphold the
airport’s infrastructure to the highest standards.
"This yearly
practice of runway maintenance post monsoons is part of the series of
activities undertaken with precision and meticulous efforts ensuring
operational continuity and passenger safety, thus bringing to life the
vision of imbibing passenger first approach at the core of our
operations," said an official.
