As per Mumbai International Airport Ltd spokesperson, “Passengers travelling to/ from the airport during the curfew will be allowed to proceed onwards as cab services and public transportation will remain operational at all time.”
The airport will be open 24/7 and will continue to remain open during the 11 pm to 6 am night curfew as well.
Most international arrivals happen past midnight.
Hence, the passengers booked on late evening or early morning flights need not worry about the night curfew.
But remember, group of five or more persons will be prohibited during the night curfew hours (11 pm to 6 am), and those violating social distancing, mask-wearing, and other pandemic norms will face action, cleared the Mumbai police said on Tuesday.
