Mumbai is experiencing continuous and heavy rainfall, which has significantly disrupted flight operations at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. In response, major airlines have issued advisories to passengers.
IndiGo reported that the ongoing rains are causing intermittent delays in their flight schedules. The low-cost carrier is working to provide real-time updates to passengers and recommends checking flight status before traveling to the airport.
Continuous and heavy rains over #Mumbai are causing periodic delays in flight schedules. While we strive to give you real-time updates, we kindly ask you to check your flight status before leaving for the airport, said IndiGo.
Due to bad weather (heavy rain) in Mumbai (BOM), all departures/arrivals and their consequential flights may get affected. Passengers are requested to keep a check on their flight status, said SpiceJet in a Twitter post.
Heavy rainfall and gusty winds caused poor visibility, leading to a temporary suspension of flight operations at Mumbai airport on Thursday morning. Operations resumed about 20 minutes later, once visibility improved to 1000 meters and the Runway Visual Range (RVR) reached 1200 meters at 10:55 am.
