The Mumbai International Airport (MIAL) on 10 April 2010 completed the
re-carpeting and reconstruction of the secondary runway at the city's
Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA).
With a smoother surface, the runway sports a new and advanced lighting system
providing better visibility for landing aircraft. The runway shoulders on either
side have been widened from 7.5 to 15 mtrs, making it compatible for operations
by Code F aircraft such as the A380. Five new taxiways including two new rapid
exit taxiways have also been constructed along the secondary runway to improve
the overall efficiency and reduce runway occupation time.
