The 343 isn't athletic- longest ground roll I experienced out of Delhi at +43C - 75 seconds. Speaking to the crew later they requested the long runway 29, apparently after ATC had been insistent that the shorter 27 was the departure runway- the commander reportedly told ATC that if they made him use 27 they might be faced with a smouldering wreck!

It works though- don't think there has been a hull loss and there was an EFATO out of Vienna I think.

Mods delete if this thread drift.
