A380 anti-skid failure, 07L blocked.
As it says no news other that.
Emirates.
A Pair of brakes locked, ground down to the axle same thing occurred to a QF A380 in Sydney just over a year ago.

A380 Runway blockage
Given that the "super" ( think they need to change that title!!) blocked the runway for over 4 hours , along with extra staff and using one runway for landing and take-off's , it was a pretty good job to clear the backlog by 1am odd.
Crisis management? What more can be done at that time of night with one runway in operation? at least 12 diverted to other airports.
Yeah it was messy and busy - but hey ATC and Apron staff didn't block the runway ( something that is very rare throughout a year.!!!

@CXE..
EK has a habit of sacking after incidents regardless of fault or blame.
How locked brakes are a crews fault, I have no idea. What happens in minds of EK management..

nice converstation about brake fires etc... but I would have thought the essence of the conversation better focussed on WHY they returned in the first place. Flight Control Problems. Hmmmmm now I think that is worth discussion
Big Bro,
I think you will find the destination of the flight from BKK to HKG was ....HKG. So not a return but rather an arrival.

Rodger that The DOn, I stand corrected. I happened to be airborne at the time and the radio call was for "flight control problems". I cant emagine even Emerites declaring something like that unless they had some serious issues of said nature. It will be interesting to see what comes out in the next few days. Don't they say never buy the first in a series of anything?
