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

Non-stop 8 Planes take off in around 8 minutes at Mumbai International Airport.
I captured 8 back to back departures in just over 8 minutes time, at Mumbai International Airport. This is the morning rush hour where the ground traffic is at its peak. This is a bit unusual timing, where there were no landings and the Mumbai Atc cleared all 8 planes for departure in over 8 minutes time. The first departure starts after 2:00 min in the video.
Starting with;
SpiceJet Boeing 737 (Flipkart livery), followed by,
IndiGo A320
Air India A321
IndiGo A320
IndiGo A320
Air India A319
Etihad A320
Air Asia A320

Thanks for watching!

Back to Back 8 Planes take off in almost 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?

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

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

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 below 👍

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

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

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.🙏🙏🙏😍🤩

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

[giteshgupta]

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

[desigujjar]

Could you imagine the number of passengers who aboarded these planes and the amount of work ATC and airport staff to let it happen.
Same happened in Karachi too.
Salute to the people working behind this scene.

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

[hrder]

3:30 indigo
4:35 air india

6:30 indigo

so, 8 planes taking off in 7:50 seconds. then why people are using cuss words at the uploader? he has correctly stated 'in almost 8 minutes' in the video title. did he say this is a 8 minute video?

this is what we indians do. cursing at people for wrong reason. pathetic.

All those folks commenting negatively are so pessimistic...lmao at their comments. If this happens at Heathrow, Ohare, JFK etc airports, then they all applaud but can't tolerate anywhere else that happening. Coordinating back to back 8 flights take off IS really a challenging task, be it in Mumbai or New York or anywhere else. Real beauty is in appreciating goodness/greatness in everything and everywhere. If you can't appreciate, so be it and move on you have no obligation to appreciate and at the same time you have no right as well to criticize anyone or anything unnecessarily and stop posting negative comments and spreading your own negative nature everywhere...these folks are like trying to count bones in a brain which itself shows their utter ignorance. Btw, whether there are 2 runways or 4 runways, no airport authorizes to take off multiple flights simultaneously. Finally, Thanks for posting this video and if it was any where else also, I really appreciate that.

[tanishabose]

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

[gunston]

The controllers are doing a great job.
