By operating the maximum number of aircraft in 24 hours, Mumbai Airport broke its own record on Saturday.<\/p>
The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport\n(CSMIA) handled a record 1004 flight movements in a day, exceeding its own\nrecord of operating 1003 flights in June this year.<\/p>
Part of the credits for this accolade goes to the incoming\nof guests for the pre-wedding bash of Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal in Udaipur.<\/p>
The spike in flight operations is mainly due to the excess demand for flights and charter aircraft to Udaipur by several VVIPs attending the wedding function.<\/p>
As many as 903 scheduled, 59 non-scheduled, 8 charter, 31 freight and 3 military flights were handled by the airport.<\/p>
Similarly, the Maharana Pratap airport in Udaipur saw over 200 chartered flights fly into the city for the pre-wedding bash. The Ambani family has, apparently, booked 20 aircraft from commercial airlines for their guests.\u00a0<\/p>
According to Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) spokesperson, they have ferried 1004 flights on a single runway within 24 hours. If they compare even internationally, then the busy Gatwick airport too, falls behind as they do not ferry these many flight movements.<\/p>
The GVK consortium-led Mumbai Airport handled 48.49 million passengers in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, registering a 7.4 percent growth over FY17.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
