Flight operations at the Mumbai airport will remain affected till Wednesday evening as efforts are under way to retrieve a SpiceJet Boeing 737-800 aircraft that overshot the runway amid heavy rainfall on Monday night. On Monday night, the airport was closed for nearly two hours as the Mithi river, which flows underneath the airport, had breached its banks. SpiceJet in a statement said, “On 1st July 2019, SpiceJet Boeing 737-800 aircraft operated flight SG 6237 from Jaipur to Mumbai. It said over 100 flights were cancelled/diverted from Mumbai Airport till now. Please expect delays in flight operations.
