At around 7:45 pm, just as flight EK 609 was due to depart, the pilot called for emergency assistance soon after he had started backing off the Airbus 320, officials said.
Glad things went well with the evac!
Get off it mate, the oldest of those aircraft is 1999 vintage, and that's not 'old' in aviation terms, and certainly light years from 'falling apart'. Do agree the cabins are looking tired, but that's fixable - if EK wanted to.
short flights long nights
The A330 is soon to leave EK...so there is no desire to upgrade the interior. But as far as maintence goes, they are well looked after and realatively new.

This is not an old A/C, if you want old check out Jet 2 in UK. I fly EK on a more than monthly basis and some a/c seem a little tired, but I have yet to fly in anything which compares with older BA types I have flown in the past.
