The occurrence aircraft remained on the ground in Heathrow for 2 hours, then departed again for Manchester and completed a safe landing on runway 23R on its first approach after diversion and total 4th approach to Manchester.
On Mar 30th 2016 Emirates' press office stated, the three go-arounds were made due to weather, with winter storm Katie battering Manchester.
The UK's Met Office issued a severe weather warning indicating the arrival of storm Katie for Mar 28th 2016 only, Katie began affecting the UK around 00:00Z on Easter Monday (Mar 28th) and had passed the UK by about noon.
Yeah, it's been done to death already - although interesting that the EK press office blames the go arounds on winter storm Katie! The GAs happened two days before Katie hit the UK; Manchester was far less battered on the 28th than LGW or LHR...
