Amid the coronavirus lockdown, domestic flight operations were given a go-ahead in India from May 25 and the Mumbai airport started with mere 50 operations which included 25 arrivals and 25 departures.

The Mumbai airport which is one of the busiest airports in the country was handling roughly 1,000 operations before the lockdown was enforced owing to Covid-19.
