Heavy rainfall and low visibility on Monday caused major disruptions to flight operations at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. The inclement weather conditions resulted in the cancellation or diversion of at least 50 flights scheduled to land in the financial capital of India. Passengers were left stranded as flights were diverted to alternative destinations, including Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, and Indore. The heavy downpour and reduced visibility significantly impacted landing procedures, forcing air traffic control to implement safety measures, leading to the disruption of flight schedules. This incident highlights the vulnerability of air travel to extreme weather conditions and underscores the importance of preparedness and contingency plans for such situations.
