Helicopter pilots unhappy with Juhu redevelopment plan

MUMBAI: The go-ahead for the Juhu airport redevelopment plan has upset many pilots flying out of the aerodrome. Most feel that the plan would spell the death of the airport which currently handles about 100 helicopter movements currently. As per the plan, the secondary runway of the airport would be closed and converted into a taxiway.

Pilots said that closing the runway would partially close the Juhu aerodrome and leave it at the mercy of flight movements at Mumbai airport. The main runway at Juhu airport is parallel to the main runway at Mumbai airport. However, when Mumbai uses its secondary runway, the operations at Juhu will have to be closed.

"If we don't have a secondary runway at Juhu, the main runway cant be used during secondary runway operations at Mumbai. The flight paths will converge. Hence, when secondary runway is in use at Mumbai, Juhu airport will have to be closed," said a senior pilot.

Another helicopter pilot said that they will protest against the plan. "It is detrimental to the helicopter operations in the city," the pilot said.
