Mumbai: The ‘height clearance’ no-objection certificate issued by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) for an elevated Metro rail close to Juhu airport “duly addresses the safety aspects for aircraft operations as well as the safety concerns of the residents in the vicinity”, said a report submitted by the civil aviation ministry to the Bombay high court on May 5.
The high court gave time to the petitioner, Harit Desai, to submit his objections to the report and posted the matter on June 6.
In 2019, the government-owned AAI had issued a NOC that granted the MMRDA a ‘permissible top elevation’ of 16.76m (above mean sea level) for a section of Metro 2B corridor (DN Nagar in Andheri west to Mankhurd) passing through SV Road that lies close to runway 08/26 of Juhu airport.
