Claim
This is the tarmac at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji International airport after consecutive days of heavy rainfall.
Fact
The 26-second video shows a flooded tarmac with taxied planes and airport staff wading in shin deep waters around the planes. The logo of Air France is clearly visible on one of the tails of the aircraft. The video was shot on August 31, 2017, when the Benito Juarez International Airport in Mexico was shut down for over five hours due to heavy rainfall. BOOM had previously fact checked the same claim in July 2018. The clip can be found on YouTube as Houston airport after Hurrican Harvey, Hyderabad airport and Bangalore airport.
