Operations at London Gatwick Airport, United Kingdom were halted for about 45 minutes on Tuesday evening after an Emirates Airlines Airbus A380 (registered A6-EUN ) became stuck on the runway. The pilots of flight EK9, coming from Dubai, UAE, aborted the first approach and informed the tower of a full emergency: a hydraulic leak and loss of nose wheel steering.
A second approach was then made. Emergency services were called to stand by next to the runway. After a safe landing, the aircraft became disabled on the runway. The Airbus A380 was towed towards the gate.
At least five aircraft diverted to other airports, at least a dozen flights got delayed.
The faith of return flight EK10 is still unclear.
