• Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Int'l - VABB, India

View of Domestic Terminal 1A and Terminal 1B at Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport at Mumbai. Shot clicked from flight seat 35F on-board JLL4645 after taking off from my favorite Runway 27 at VABB. Also visible behind the PTB is the new Control Tower under construction. Seen in the picture (from left) are: Air India A321, Air India A319 pushed back from the gate, Indian Airlines A319 at Terminal 1A. In Terminal 1B are an IndiGo A320, 2 Jet Airways 737-800s, a *RARE* Kingfisher A320, and a Jet Airways B737-800. I was lucky to click this shot as it was drizzling the moment we were holding at the newly opened N1 taxiway, and the windows were covered with rain drops. As we started the take off roll, the water droplets from the windows started to vanish, thereby giving me this photo op.

I always wanted to capture the Loooong Airbus A340-600 but little did I know that I wouldn’t get many chances to capture it as not many airlines operate this type now(I have seen the Etihad Airbus A346 in grand prix livery land in Mumbai but back then I was in school), But Lufthansa flew their A340-600 on the MUC-BOM-MUC route during the last summer schedule and that was my last chance to spot it at my homebase Mumbai
