As one of the busiest single-runway airports in the world, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) prides itself for safe, secure and efficient operations, owing to carefully planned and executed runway maintenance works all through the year.
As a part of CSMIA’s comprehensive post-monsoon runway maintenance plan, the cross runways – RWY 09/27 and RWY 14/32 will be temporarily non-operational on 17 October 2024, from 1100 hrs to 1700 hrs IST. This scheduled temporary closure is a part of CSMIA’s annual post-monsoon preventive maintenance plan. A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) has also been duly issued in this regard six months in advance.
The primary objective of this planned closure is to carry out essential repair and maintenance activities that ensure that the airport’s infrastructure meets global standards. This annual practice of post-monsoon runway maintenance is part of the series of activities undertaken with precision and meticulous effort, ensuring operational continuity and passenger safety, thus imbibing the safety first approach at the core of airside operations.
Flight schedules have been coordinated well in advance, in collaboration with key stakeholders, to ensure seamless operations and smooth execution of the post-monsoon runway maintenance.
