The Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, managed by the GVK Group, said it has commissioned a new exit taxiway.

The new taxiway will help save up to 10 seconds of runway occupancy time for an aircraft.

The rapid exit taxiway N5, located on the northern side of the primary runway 09-27, will reduce the arrival runway occupancy time by 9-10 seconds, a statement from the Mumbai airport said.

The new taxiway is 415 metres long and can facilitate all wide-bodied aircraft, including the Airbus A380, the statement added.
