MMP was towed to a remote stand and is operating a service to BOM as I type. Looks like an own goal due to the late tow and subsequent delays in getting resources to the aircraft to prepare it for service, no doubt due to the cargo tunnel restrictions and control post closures that are happening concurrently.
