Mumbai International Airport will close its two cross-runways for six hours on May 9 to facilitate pre-monsoon maintenance. The closure, from 11am to 5pm, aims to ensure operational continuity and passenger safety. The annual practice includes detailed technical inspections to address wear and tear, waterlogging concerns, and to enhance runway infrastructure durability. Notices have been issued to airmen and stakeholders to manage flights and minimize passenger inconvenience. The maintenance is integral to the airport's monsoon contingency plan, preparing for potential challenges posed by inclement weather conditions.
