Mumbai Airport to temporary close both runways on May 2 for maintenance work

Mumbai Airport said its runways would remain temporarily closed for operations for five hours on May 2 as part of the facility's monsoon contingency plan. The exercise involves specialists in engineering and airside teams inspecting the runway surface for micro-texture and macro-texture wear and tear that may have occurred due to day-to-day operations and help strengthen the airside strip, it said. This annual exercise helps maintain operational continuity and ensures passengers' safety.
