In Mumbai, huge mix of domestic and international ops and two separate terminals and generally only one taxiway to get to the runway used the most. Terminal ramps area are very congested and when the incoming flight has no gate to go to because it is already occupied by the tardy departing plane. Add in the fact that the yearly smog disrupts early morning departures and you have now shown the limit of a one runway operation.
Management rules related to Q system are simple, U miss your turn, U get back to the tail, simple principle of of waiting list / line.
Is it different in Aviation ?
Or is it "different" in Indian context ?
And hence needing SPECIAL and DETAILED strictures ?
