There was a live report by someone of the authorities.
He told that Atlas Air states the aircraft will be able to takeoff with the current conditions. No need to extend the runway as suggested in this thread.
It is believed the aircraft is carrying cargo but cargo does not need to be offloaded for the takeoff. Also no fuel has been offloaded.
A new flightcrew is coming over t0 Jabara expected to arrive late morning. The crew will prepare the aircraft for takeoff. Takeoff will be at 12:00 local time today.
