Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) has announced the closure of its secondary runway for more than three months starting from October 10, 2011 to carry out the construction of a new taxiway.

The new taxiway will help in reducing the turn-around time taken by aircraft to vacant the main runway. In February 2012, the airport authority is planning to shut the main runway for construction of a quick exit taxiway. However, the dates for the same have not been announced yet.
