 If you were awaiting a plane to land, you could just leave the plane queuing, but if you are ready to have him on the runway tell him to get into position on the runway. Remember, it is your job to get aircraft onto and off the runways as quickly as possible, so that planes can land and take-off quickly:
-'''You: B-ELIO, taxi into position and hold.'''<br>
+'''You: B-ELIO, runway 9, line up and wait.'''<br>
-'''B-ELIO: Position and hold, B-ELIO.'''
+'''B-ELIO: Runway 9, line up and wait, B-ELIO.'''
-One thing to note, Europeans may use the terminology 'line up and wait' in stead of 'position and hold' - it means exactly the same. You may also use a conditional clearance, to make your job easier:

 The plane will commence his take-off roll, and - as soon as he is airborne - you want to get rid of him and get onto your next plane. You initiate the hand-off to approach, and handoff as soon as (s)he accepts. So now, onto approaches dealings...
