ABU DHABI — An Etihad Airways flight coming from Mumbai which ran out of fuel had to make an emergency landing at the Abu Dhabi International Airport (ADIA) yesterday morning. The landing was safe and there was no injury to the passengers and the crew.
According to details, at around 10am, the captain of the Etihad Airways aircraft reported to the Air Traffic Control Abu Dhabi that it had only one hour of fuel left and sought permission to make an emergency landing.
Soon after receiving the request, a state of emergency was declared at the airport, and Civil Defence Units from Bani Yas, Umm Al Nar, and Shahama were called in besides ambulances already stationed at the airport, and the Quick Intervention Units (QIU).
The teams made elaborate arrangements to handle any emergency situation.
The aircraft had to hover in the skies of Abu Dhabi for around an hour before emergency measures were taken to manage any untoward incident. At 11.03am, the aircraft finally made a safe landing.
