Oops, a technical problem on the upper-level door, or a mishap? The Emirates Airbus A380-800 (registered A6-EUX) was waiting at Manchester Airport, United Kingdom, for flight EK22 towards Dubai Airport, United Arab Emirates, on the morning of 19 December when the incident occurred. Soon after, pictures appeared on social media.
An Emirates spokesperson sent the following statement to Aviation24.be:
“Emirates flight EK022 from Manchester to Dubai, scheduled to depart on 19 December at 08:50am (Manchester time), has been delayed due to a technical issue. Affected passengers are being provided with assistance, and will be re-accommodated on a replacement aircraft due to depart from Manchester on 20 December at 06:00am.
Emirates apologises for the inconvenience caused. The safety of our passengers and crew is of the utmost importance.”
