Heads up if you're flying in or out of Mumbai—Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport will be closed on November 20 from 11am to 5pm for its yearly post-monsoon checkup.
Both runways are getting a safety tune-up to keep things running smoothly and meet global aviation standards.

What's happening and why it matters

With around 950 flights taking off and landing daily, the airport has given airlines an early heads-up so they can adjust schedules and avoid chaos.
Crews will be checking runway surfaces, lights, and drainage systems.
The airport says they're doing everything possible to keep passenger hassles to a minimum while making sure safety stays top priority.
