After holding shot for nearly 20 minutes due to lot of incoming traffic this rare bird is finally given clearance to taxi on RWY 14 to the threshold before turning around for take-off on RWY 14. The main RWY at Mumbai RWY 27 was closed during the afternoon for maintenance and RWY 14 is a nightmare for international operations, since aircraft cant get to the threshold of RWY 14 from the international terminal without taxing down the RWY.
