Mumbai Airport runway closure: EaseMyTrip brings solution for its customers

Further to the recent announcement regarding the airport’s main runway being partially closed for five months, the company is facilitating the customers with a free bus ticket to Mumbai from its nearby airports.

The main runway of Mumbai Airport will be closed for commercial flight operations between 9 AM and 5.30 PM from 1 November, 2019 to 28 March, 2020. Because of this, travelers might face difficulty in travelling to the city during this period. There is expected to be a sharp rise in airfares by almost 20 to 30% since less fights will be operational.

Since Mumbai is one of the busiest airports of India. Thus, any restriction on flights landing at its airport would result in a huge impact on airfares. The fares are set to increase especially for last minute bookings. To provide an innovative way-out to its customers, EaseMyTrip is suggesting them to travel to the nearby airports and take buses for Mumbai. This will not only reduce their travel cost but also save them from the hassle of keeping a track of the runway closure.

The company is therefore giving its customers bus coupon worth Rs.1000 on using the code MUMBUS while making flight bookings to nearby destinations- Pune, Nasik, Nagpur, Nanded or Aurangabad. Once the flights are booked, bus coupon code will be sent to the customers through email to avail the discount on their subsequent bus booking to Mumbai.
