Emirates flight from Dubai to New York JFK diverted to Iceland, forcing passengers to walk on ice in middle of the night.

The flight EK201 departed Dubai at 09:01 GST Thursday, January 23 2025 to New York JFK Airport.

But about 9 hours into the flight, the A380 (registration A6-EEQ) diverted to Keflavik, after a possible medical emergency on board.

As the plane landed in Iceland, the crew went out of hours forcing passengers to disembark and be stranded.

Several passengers complained about the lack of information and the fact they had to look for snack in middle of the night, walking on ice.

The airline is planning to leave the passengers in Iceland for more than 37 hours.

The rescue flight is scheduled to depart at 04:00 am on Saturday, estimated to land at 04:37 at New York JFK.

The aircraft will officially enter commercial service in January when it makes its debut flight to its first destination, Edinburgh, followed by 8 other destinations across the Middle East, West Asia and Europe.

Today is a media day at Dubai International Airport as Emirates opens its first A350-900 to journalists.

The first 15 A350 aircraft will seat 312 passengers. The remaining 50 A350s will be ultra-long range with 298 seats due to a crew rest area.

Emirates expects one more Airbus A350-900 this year plus three through late March.

Emirates flight from Dubai to London Heathrow is diverting to Birmingham due to storm Bert.

After two landing attempts on runway 27L at London Heathrow, flight #EK1 is diverting to Birmingham Airport.

The Airbus A380-800 (registration A6-EVC) is expected to land in few mins at BHX.

A strong crosswind up to 38 kt is challenging pilots of flights landing at London Heathrow today.

The Airport earlier announced to out of our planned alternation programme today: landing on the southern runway (27L) and taking off from the northern runway (27R) due to Storm Bert resulting in strong wind conditions exceeding those parameters deemed safe in planned alternation.

Saudia flight #SV119 to London Heathrow just diverted to London Gatwick.

Eurocontrol is expecting “high delays for arrivals due to Wind of storm Bert.”

An Emirates A380 to Birmingham was forced to divert to Manchester after 2 landing attempts.

Emirates flight #EK39 was scheduled to land at 12:25 at Birmingham, UK.

The Airbus A380 (registration A6-EVB) was put on hold at 10,000 ft near BHX airport before a first landing attempt on runway 33 at 13:17 BST.

The aircraft went around due to a strong crosswind and heavy rain. A second attempt resulted in the same action due to low visbility.

The flight then was vectored to Manchester Airport where it landed one hour later.

We are in the process of rebooking the flights to final destination and will send updated itinerary shortly.
