A British Airways Boeing 777-200, registration G-VIIR performing flight BA-2156 from Saint Kitts (St. Kitts and Nevis) to Antigua (Antigua and Barbuda) with 87 passengers and 14 crew, was preparing for departure from runway 07, when the crew was cleared to backtrack the runway 07. The captain however requested to depart from the intersection of the runway with taxiway Alpha (takeoff run available TORA 1915 meters/6280 feet) which was approved by the tower. The airplane however taxied onto the runway at taxiway Bravo (takeoff run available 1220 meters/4000 feet) and commenced takeoff from there. The airplane's main gear departed the runway surface about 1000 feet short of the end of paved surface, the airplane continued for a safe landing in Antigua.
