EK040 B777 at LGW? Diversion?
Saw an EK 777 at LGW at around 1715z on Saturday. Apparantly is was EK040 from BHX.
Any news on the cause of diversion? Brgrds, minibus3 |
I believe that he left part of his rudder on the runway at BHX. When told of this, a diversion to LGW seemed sensible.

It was not part of the rudder, it was part of a body panel
|
what is it with emirates lately, they seem to be having quite a few emergencies or diversions.
|
Oh really how many have they had?
And how many would you call alot? |

Oh really how many have they had? And how many would you call alot? and while your there lets see some real facts not just sun newspaper reporting against how many total flts in their system numbers of pax or revenue miles sounds like a newsy bloke to me:mad: |
I never thought that I would be a witness to one of these events - but I was a passenger on the said EK040....
No screams. No panic. Just a professional crowd of people doing their job. We were almost over the Dutch coast when the Aussie captain announced that we had left a panel on the runway at BHX, and in the interests of safety, we were going to go to LGW to get it looked at. Dumped a bit of fuel, landed. Captain spoke to ground engineers, decided that it couldn't be remedied in a sensible amount of time (I understand - but don't know - that the panel was an inspection cover off the number 2 engine pylon). We all got rerouted. Not really news at all - as I say, just a professional group of people doing the business, and doing it well. Thanks to them all! TA |
LGW, Goa and JNB to name but a few

Thank you Twinaisle,
How satisfying to get an intelligent respone to an incident so quickly. It restores my faith in humanity. Thanks |
Jettesen, EK do not fly to Goa.
What's your motovation behind slagging the company anyway? Their own pilots are doing it rather well on the middle East forum without outsiders slagging them as well! |
True, but the diversion was to goa!
since when was I slagging them?? all i said was they were having a few emergencies lately.........hows that slagging? think you're the one with the problem |
