Following improvement in visibility up to 2,000 metres, Mumbai airport which was closed in the wee hours due to heavy rainfall, was opened to flights shortly before noon today.
The first flight to touch down was a Jet Airways Airbus A-340 flight from London, airport official said, adding that the airport was made operational around 11.30 am.
Flights have now begun to operate and clearing of the huge backlog of domestic and international airlines should pose no problems, he said.
"If the visibility continues and there is no further rain, the huge backlog of passengers stranded since morning should be cleared," an airlines official added.
