Mumbai Airport on a new High !

Minutes after i posted my last comment " Dogs play menace on Goa Airport !", I realised that just 263 miles further the Mumbai runway 09-27 has set a new record for itself. Yesterday i.e. on 11th feb 06, this runway alone handled 304 arrivals and 301 departures in a span of 24 hrs. This meant that every 2.38 minutes (2 minutes and 23 seconds) this runway witnessed an activity. If we compare this with some other airports in the world it might appear normal but one must realise that Mumbai operated this on a single runway unlike other airports in the world which operate on Multiple runways.

This must be seen as a matter of happiness and must go in the record book. But this also comes with a alarm that expansion work needs to be carried out and infrastructure building needs to happen as early as possible. A call for the authorities. Lets keep the fingers crossed !
