Mumbai has faced multiple episodes of heavy rainfall recently, which have disrupted air traffic and affected airport operations.

As weather conditions may continue to influence flight operations, SpiceJet advised passengers to verify their flight status with their respective airlines before proceeding to Mumbai airport.
