In a tweet, Jet Airways put out a list of 118 flights that now stand cancelled.

“In lieu of the main runway not being available at Mumbai airport till 1400 hours on Sep 20, 2017 the following flights have been cancelled. We continue to closely monitor the situation in Mumbai. Guests are advised to check flight status before leaving for the airport,” Jet Airways said.
