News India Live, Digital Desk: if you 20 November (Wednesday) If you have booked a flight to Mumbai, or someone in your family is going to travel, then wait a moment. This news can save you a lot of time and troubles. A big information has come out from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) – tomorrow i.e. on 20th November, the work on the runway of the airport will come to a complete halt for about 6 hours.
Yes, you read it right. During this period neither any airplane will fly nor will any land.
How long will the ban last?
The airport administration has said that 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM Both runways (Runway 09/27 and 14/32) will remain closed. That means there will be ‘silence’ at the airport during these six hours.
Why is this happening?
There is no need to panic, this is not an emergency. Actually, every year after the rains the runway is repaired and maintained. It is just like we get our car serviced after a long drive, so that the journey remains safe. After the monsoon is over, the airport authority inspects the runway so that take-off and landing of planes can be as smooth as butter.
Travel Advisory
Now the question is, what will happen to those whose tickets are for this period?
- Check flight status: Before leaving home, call your airline or check the status on their app.
- Rescheduling: Most airlines have already rescheduled or canceled their flights. You may have received a message or mail that you missed—check it now.
- Be patient: If your flight is shortly after 5 pm, be prepared for congestion, as standstill traffic will start immediately.
So sir, if you have plans to go to Mumbai tomorrow, then be a little smart and re-check your schedule, so that you do not have to wait for hours at the airport!
