Haven't heard that one, and not credible as Mumbai is an international hub.

Unlikely indeed. A quick look at the airport website teaches the gist of it is in fact true, but of course it applies to just two runways and their intersection (planned dates given as October 1, 2009 till March 25, 2010): http://www.csia.in/runwayclosure.asp.

News is correct, of the 2 runways in Mumbai Airport, 1 is closed for major renovation. The other runway that is currently in use is closed every Tuesday from midday to 6, and all flights are rescheduled during that time. This will be till mid-Mar 2010. The runway that is closed will reopen in Jan 2010.

Yes, it will be going offline every tuesday for a year or so. Short distance flights are liable to be cancelled, long distance one's will be rescheduled. Check local listings, enquire, and then arrive on tuesdays.

The intersection of the two cross runways is closed every Tuesday from noon to 6pm for work on the surface of the runway. There is a part of the runway which is left for operations of only some very small aircraft but even those are not permitted on wet runways as is seen from the accident a couple of days ago when an aircraft was landing.

Yes, Nick!!! Sometimes one runway has takeoffs while the other has landings and the twain shall never meet (at least they hope so!!!). This helps in reducing times for departures and arrivals by lining up aircraft for either of them without them interfering in any way. This used to happen only during early morning as the secondary runway was only used during the day time (not any longer as it is under reconstruction).
