From Tuesday, Mumbai airport to handle 100 flights daily

NEW DELHI: Mumbaikars will get more domestic flights and a wider network from Tuesday. As reported by TOI on Monday, Maharashtra allowed Mumbai to have 50 schedule domestic arrivals and as many departures daily, double the number allowed when services resumed on May 25. By the end of this month, this figure could increase to 100.
"The move will also see an increase in the sectors that we are currently handling," an airport spokesperson said.
Since May 25, Mumbai was aerially connected to 17 cities-Nagpur, Patna, Ranchi, Kochi, Delhi, Calicut, Guwahati, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, Gorakhpur, Jammu, Srinagar, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh and Belgaum.
While Mumbai used to see close to 1,000 daily flights in pre-corona times, the increase will mean more frequencies on existing high-demand routes and getting linked again to some cities for the first time after the lockdown. Airlines were working out what the additions should be till Monday night and did not comment on what their schedule will be from Tuesday.
