The city handles close to 50 arrivals and departures every day, spread over 24 hours.
“We will reach out to the airlines and discuss with them about changing the flight timings,” he said in a statement.
During last 3-4 months, re-carpeting work will be taken up during day time, a period when traffic movement remains high, he said.
