Back to Bombay ATC: flew out today and we had about 25 minutes hold at 27-09, but no movement at all on the intersecting RWY. Any idea why the second RWY is not in use?
There is a min Vis requirement for cross runway ops.

Airport Authority of India on Tuesday de-rostered two Air Traffic Control officers—a tower controller and a radar controller—for lapses that led to Monday’s incident.
Joint director of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation A K Chopra has begun a probe to detect what went wrong.
AAI officials had said the IAF chopper had landed at the airport without taking clearance and that had resulted in a collision-like situation since the airbus was taking off the same time.

123567: visibility had nothing to do with the backlog - we could see the end of the runway and beyond, so around 5,000 metres

some other pilot might have seen some bird on take off path, then it can cause delay for all departures and arrivals.
or there may be some other issue like that.

Mumbai airport rings alarm bells. According to airport sources, there have been three incidents of bird-hits in January. December 2008 saw as many as nine such incidents; August and October recorded seven bird-hits each. Feburary has already seen 7 incidents of bird strike.
Still mumbai airport is safere than delhi airport.

Good article indeed. It does put the IAF helicopter guys in a poor light. Procedural errors and transponders notwithstanding, how did the airspace remain open when the President was flying in? Normally airspace around an airport is closed to inbound and outbound civil trafficduring VVIP/VIP movements.
That,IMHO, is the more important question.
