Smaller Gulf Airlines Denied Mumbai Airport Slots
Ten smaller Gulf airlines have been denied slots at Mumbai airport. Slots are the permissions that allot takeoff and landing times to airlines. The move comes as the airport plans to suspend flights to 14 international destinations, which will be served from Navi Mumbai instead.
Context
Context: Mumbai's airport is very busy and has limited runway time, so slots are tightly controlled. Navi Mumbai International Airport opened as a second hub to take some of this traffic off the older Mumbai airport.
