Non-stop 8 Planes take off in around 8 minutes at Mumbai International Airport

As long as the aircraft are of the same wake turbulence class, as are the B737s and A320s here, the tower controller can "shotgun" the departures. 8 planes in 8 minutes is actually quite a leisurely pace. Watch takeoffs in airports like Las Vegas and Boston, and the rate of departures is much, much higher, and its done safely. At New York's LaGuardia (a domestic airport), the departures exceed this rate while airplanes are landing on an intersecting runway. The Mumbai controller does an excellent job of keeping the departures rolling by having one aircraft "Line up and wait" while the preceding aircraft is rolling down the runway. This video also displays the discipline and proficency of the pilots involved. I enjoyed watching this video! I fly the 737 all day, and I still am entertained watching airplanes take off and land! Who isn't?

SpiceJet plane with the Flipkart advertisement on its body looks more like a State Transport Bus than an aeroplane..🤤

Of the whole lot, Most eager and restless : Air Aisa plane Most slow and thoughtful : Etihad plane Most swift and prompt : All Indigo planes

The controllers are doing a great job. Love from Italy 🇮🇹

I watched in 2X mode and they all flew in about 4 minutes.

Traffic management of the planes as well as the local trains in Mumbai is incredible.

2:47 A True INDIAN PILOT spotted #indigo

the advertisement on the plane is for birds

Excellent. This is one rare of a capture. I had captured 3 successive takeoffs but this one is ultimate

is everyone watching today?

I love how they're perfectly aligned in a straight line

Being a SRILANKAN I feel proud of the acheivements of my nearest neighbour.......& wish to see the same in BIA COLOMBO SRILANKA !

Best part... IndiGo Pilot...feels like Puneri Auto wala...who jumps the Q...

I salute to those pilot who flys aeroplane and the caption who Sail large ships.... They are to difficult to handle... Not easy like you are driving a car....👍

I remember having the same experience in 2019 while traveling from Addis Ababa to Guangzhou China. It was so so beautiful seeing planes taking off one after another in a time frame of less than 10 minutes

Most beautiful view. I love watching planes takeoff and landing. In movies the arrival or departure of hero/ heroine in a plane is just taken from one angle . So the full view is not available and I feel dejected. Thanks a lot for this video.🙏🙏🙏😍🤩

This video suddenly viral How many of you are watching on this date

Edit: Thanks a lot everyone for so many likes and comments 😀 Some of the comments says that it took 10 and 12 min, see that the first take-off starts after 2:00 min in the video. So don't see the full video time. It has indeed taken a little over 8 min. Happy New Year to everyone 😀🎉 This is my first video in 2021. 8 Planes take-off in 8 minutes at Mumbai International Airport ! Watch full video, i am sure you will like it. Leave your comments belo

Excellent . We hardly get to see such kind of take offs. Thanks to Mumbai and the entire team involved.

Out of 8 there were 4 indigo airplanes😳 that's kind of impressive ❤😃
