Narrative:
GoAir flight GOW336, an Airbus A320 aircraft operated on a scheduled flight from Delhi to Mumbai. Just before 09:00 UTC the aircraft was in sequence for take off at Delhi. At the same time an Indian Air Force Antonov 32 aircraft, radio call sign VUDBL, had just landed.
Delhi Airport runway 28 at this time was restricted due to a VVIP flight departing, causing delays. The VVIP flight departed at 08:51:00 UTC and immediately thereafter the three runway operations commenced to expedite the pending departures from the apron 1.
The Antonov aircraft landed in such situation at Delhi on runway 10 and vacated the active runway via taxiway F. The aircraft was given the taxi clearance to the Air Force Technical Area which was to cross runway 09.
While the Antonov was on its assigned taxi way the three runway operation had commenced and therefore runway 09 was also made an active runway and the departures / arrivals were scheduled. The Sufrace Movement Controller (SMC) lost the situational awareness for a short duration in and did not realise that he had cleared the Antonov for a runway 09 crossing.
GoAir flight 336 was then given the departure clearance from runway 09. At this stage SMC controller realized the oversight and called ther Antonov to stop immediately. Having received no response, the SMC controller advised the Tower controller to immediately stop the departure of GoAir flight VT-GOK.
VT-GOK which by now had commenced its take off roll, rejected takeoff immediately.
