well as far as i know they are no .s assigned at the end points of the runway now mumbai's main runway is 09-27 one if ur approaching from juhu u will land from the 09 side and from mahim creek u will land from the 27 side which usually all a/c are directed to use
the other intersecting runway of mumbai is numbered as 14-32

9 refers to 90 degreess..and obviously 27 to 270 degrees.....one side of the runway is 180 degrees plus the other side. _________________ Geniuses are always misunderstood in their lifetimes. |

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 _________________ If it aint Boeing.. I aint going. |
