Want a Laugh ...... go to VABB
For the last few days
VABB ................ Yes Bombay ........Mumbai
what an absolute joke
737 off the end of R/W 27
Sorry i look at my calendar and it says 2005
in the stone age i'm sure they'd have manged better
was sent through the centreline 3 times cos they couldn't sort out the space under " RADAR"
as for departing well its worth a visit to watch
Can't wait for when the A-380 starts coming
All is forgiven Mogadishu you are superb !!

LOL .. I balls will be in my hands when I head down that side later this year. Wish there were direct flights to VAGO :-/
Also read an article a while ago about the ATC in India all over in general being sort os a timebomb... just about time until something major happens. God forbid this happening with an A380 or something (poor plane)

Remember landing at VABB about 15 years ago on the jumpseat of an SQ 747 . Interesting it was , we turned off the active to be confronted by cattle and kids on the taxyway and grass alongside . Captain complained on freq to TWR but I don't think it did any good . The aroma on disembarking was unusual too !

VABB really a joke
yea man...have read lot of stories in the local papers of TWR goof-ups. it's a pity that being the largest airport in India it still has lot of issues with ATC personnel who cliam they are short staffed and that there has been no corresponding increase in personnel after the boom. Unless u have another Chakri like incident these guys will not wake up
