The Mumbai`s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport carried out its annual post-monsoon maintenance on Thursday, shutting down operations for six hours—from 11 am to 5 pm—on November 20, 2025. The closure, announced earlier this month, was part of routine safety and operational checks conducted every year.

According to the airport’s earlier statement, the scheduled shutdown was necessary to ensure continued safety, reliability, and compliance with global aviation standards. A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) was issued well in advance, enabling airlines and stakeholders to revise flight schedules and plan manpower accordingly.
