Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA), managed by Adani Group and the Airports Authority of India (AAI), will suspend all flight operations for six hours on November 20. The closure, scheduled from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., is part of the airport’s annual post-monsoon runway maintenance programme.
According to Mumbai International Airport Ltd ( MIAL), the planned maintenance is critical to ensuring continued safety, reliability, and adherence to international aviation standards. Both runways — the primary 09/27 and the secondary 14/32 — will be temporarily non-operational during this period.
The airport, which manages nearly 950 flights daily, is India’s second busiest after Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport. MIAL stated that a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) has been issued in advance, allowing airlines and stakeholders to adjust schedules and manage operations efficiently. “This proactive communication enables seamless coordination across operations and minimises passenger inconvenience,” the operator said.
As part of the maintenance, teams will conduct detailed inspections, surface repairs, and technical assessments of lighting systems, runway markings, and drainage infrastructure. The airport management emphasised that such work is conducted annually after the monsoon to maintain operational safety and ensure uninterrupted flight services through the year.
