Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport faced disruptions on May 26, 2025, due to adverse weather conditions. Two Air India flights were diverted: Goa-Mumbai flight AI604 was rerouted to Indore, and an Ahmedabad-Mumbai flight returned to Ahmedabad. Low visibility caused significant delays, with officials reporting three brief windows between 7 AM and 10 AM where no flights landed for 5–10 minutes.
Despite the challenges, the airport’s Low Visibility Operations Procedure ensured that departures continued smoothly. This protocol has been critical in maintaining operations during poor weather conditions, minimizing delays for outbound flights. Passengers are advised to check flight statuses with airlines for real-time updates.
The disruptions highlight the impact of unpredictable weather on air travel, particularly during monsoon season. Mumbai Airport, one of India’s busiest hubs, is equipped to handle such scenarios, but travelers should stay informed to avoid inconvenience.
