The closure of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) and Juhu airport in Mumbai due to Indian Air Force (IAF) air show in the city from January 12-14 will not impact schedule of commercial flights. Both the airports will be shut for all commercial flights during the show from 12 noon to 1 PM during the three-day show. This will allow the IAF to use the air space for different defence aircraft.
However, the closure of airports will not have any impact on the schedule as the event was notified well in advance to all the flight operators and they made changes in the schedule accordingly. The aim of the event is to foster deeper connection between the Indian Air Force and the local community, according to PIB release.
