Emirates A380 Emergency Landing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, let us establish a flight timeline with the help of FlightRadar24 (FR24) data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to FR24, Emirates flight EK362 <\/strong>took off from Dubai International Airport (DXB) at around 7:08 AM UTC. The flight crew reported an in-flight medical emergency after being airborne for almost two hours and 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of reporting the issue, the flight was over the Bhopal, India. The flight crew was left with two options: one was Delhi, and another was Mumbai (BOM). But they decided to divert to Delhi for much better medical care and other SOPs-related reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flight landed safely in Delhi at around 10:33 AM UTC, almost after three hours and 25 minutes from departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place on September 8, 2023, and the aircraft involved in this incident was Airbus A380-861. Further, it has the registration A6-EEE and is around 11 years old aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flight departed again after remaining on the ground for more than two hours. After around four hours and 30 minutes, it landed safely at Guangzhou (CAN), China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EK’s Missed Landing at Delhi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On June 22, 2023, Emirates (EK)<\/a> Boeing<\/a> 777 attempted landing twice, but it missed and did go around at Delhi Airport (DEL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gulf Carrier operates its flagship Boeing 777-300ER on Dubai (DXB)<\/a> and Delhi (DEL)<\/a> routes. Further, Emirates operates the highest number of flights to and from Delhi to Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Flight Radar 24, Emirates flight UAE514<\/strong> takes off from Dubai at 11:40 AM UTC. After being airborne for almost two hours and 40 mins and covering a distance of 2,187 Km was about to land at DEL at 2:50 PM UTC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it\u2019s easier said than done; the Emirates flight faced strong, gusty wings around the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pilot made the first landing attempt at DEL at 2:25 PM at 2000 ft. But he did the low past over the airport. Subsequently, at 2:38 PM UTC, the pilot tried a second time to land; this time, it came down under 2000 ft, but again did the go around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, after evaluating the situation and with its remarkable training and skillset, the EK Flight crew landed on the third attempt at 2:54 PM UTC. The situation lasted for almost 30 minutes, and the passengers onboard seemed worried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The go-around is common in such situations, but it takes a lot of skills to go around with this widebody. Further, they need to evaluate the situation of overrun or missing the runway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
