Heavy Rain Brings Mumbai Airport To Halt, 87% Flights Hit By Delays

Summary

Heavy rainfall and strong winds brought operations at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to a temporary halt on Sunday, causing widespread disruption for thousands of passengers. The temporary shutdown, which lasted for one hour, resulted in significant delays, with around eighty-seven percent of departing flights and sixty-two percent of arriving flights facing delays. Normal services resumed after an hour once visibility improved and weather conditions became suitable for aircraft movement, although knock-on delays continued due to the morning disruption.
