Strange! Haven't heard any reports on the news of Dubai-bound pax being within minutes of death as flames leapt from the engine of the stricken airliner. You'd normally get at least one report of how the crippled aircraft went into freefall as the pilot (singular) fought with the controls.

It must have been EMA. There hasn't been a SATA A310 in MAN this year!
I'm told that one visited EMA at weekend, though.
Sadly for the tabloid gang the whole EK engine failure affair was handled calmly and professionally by all concerned.
They'll probably make up something suitably dramatic in a few weeks' time, though!

A330-200 A6EAA operating outbound EK018 on June 8, declared a PAN,
approx. 30 mins after departing MAN. Aircraft returned to MAN with
starboard engine shut down.
Pax put up in hotel overnight and departed on same aircraft next morning.

Supposed to be a FMU failure no implications to other ETOPS operations so went the conversation at my companies ETOPS brief and recovery far too quick for a real ENGINE failure i.e. change

EK quite sensibly do not waste time and money "naming" their airplanes. Love the pragmatic approach of placing a sticker for an inaugaral flight and then taking it off!
All that matters is the number of bums on seats, not what the machine is called.
