A KLM Boeing 787-9, registration PH-BHE performing flight
KL-497 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Kuwait (Kuwait), landed on Kuwait's runway 33R, slowed to taxi speed and attempted to vacate the runway via high speed exit E5, which however was closed. The aircraft stopped on the turn off just past the hold short line, a tow truck was needed to push the aircraft back onto the runway. About 30 minutes after turning off onto the wrong taxiway the aircraft was pushed back and was able to vacate the runway via the next taxiway E6 and taxi to the apron on own power.
The aircraft was able to continue for its next leg to Dubai on time.
A passenger reported the aircraft had landed on runway 33R well ahead of time but then turned off onto the last high speed turn off, which was closed for maintenance works. The aircraft was immediately stopped and needed to be pushed back onto the runway from where it taxied to the terminal via the next turnoff with about 45 minutes delay.
