9 refers to 90 degreess..and obviously 27 to 270 degrees.....one side of the runway is 180 degrees plus the other side.

runway 9 is the opposite of runway 27 (a full 180 degrees opposite) and likewise 27 is 180 degrees opposite 09..
runway 27 is at the ghatkopar end of the city... while runway 09 is the santacruz end of the city.. so if u were to land on 09... you would be approaching over the highway... if u were on 27... which is the most heavily used end.. you would fly in over ghatkopar
