The flights will be operated for seven hours from October 26 to November 6 to facilitate the movement of passengers during the festival season. 


The runway will be available for civilian flight operations from 5 am to 12 noon daily during that period. During the second phase of maintenance work, an 18-hour window — from 5 am to 11 pm— has been planned from November 7 to 18.
