A bus carries US Marine Commandos being taken to North American Airlines Boeing 767-300, which is ready to take off after the clearance from Indian Airport Authority in Mumbai on Monday, 19 October 2009. Indian military officials ordered a United States airplane carrying 205 Marines to land at Mumbai airport over an airspace clearance dispute. The Indian Air Force had to instruct the US plane to land as it did not have the mandatory clearance required to fly in Indian airspace. The chartered plane was on its way from Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates to Bangkok when it was forced to land.
