The temporary closure of Shivaji for maintenance will cause flight disruptions and delays, impacting airlines like SpiceJet, Akasa Air, and IndiGo.

Event Summary

Shivaji (CSMIA) in Mumbai is scheduled to suspend flight operations for six hours on May 8, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This planned shutdown is for annual pre-monsoon runway maintenance, affecting both the primary (09/27) and secondary (14/32) runways. Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), the airport operator, issued a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) six months in advance to inform airlines and stakeholders, allowing them to adjust schedules. The maintenance is crucial for preserving the health and longevity of the airport's airside infrastructure and ensuring safe operations during the monsoon season, including inspections for wear and tear and preventive measures against waterlogging. Airlines such as SpiceJet, Akasa Air, and IndiGo have issued advisories to their passengers regarding potential flight disruptions and delays, urging them to check their flight status before traveling.
