About Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport

Overview

Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Mumbai, India's largest metropolitan area. Located at 19.088699°N, 72.867897°E, this large airport handles significant commercial and international passenger traffic. The airport sits at a low elevation of 39 feet mean sea level, providing relatively straightforward terrain approach conditions.

Flying Conditions

Mumbai's coastal location generates dynamic weather patterns with significant seasonal variations, particularly during monsoon periods. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and visibility changes, especially during June through September when monsoon conditions are most pronounced. The airport's two parallel runways (09/27 and 14/32) offer flexible wind-aligned approach options.

Notable Features

The airport features two substantial asphalt runways: Runway 09/27 measuring 11,511 feet and Runway 14/32 measuring 9,419 feet. These extensive runway lengths accommodate wide-body international aircraft and provide substantial operational flexibility. Its proximity to the Arabian Sea coastline means pilots should be prepared for potential maritime meteorological influences.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation allows for approaches aligned with prevailing wind directions, with 09/27 and 14/32 providing crosswind and primary approach options. The airport's low elevation and extended runway lengths support diverse aircraft types and minimize terrain-related approach complexities. Standard instrument approach procedures will be applicable given the airport's international classification.
