On January 9, a flight to Hyderabad was instructed by air traffic control to reject take-off on departure and this was completed successfully.
The UAE civil aviation regulator has opened an investigation into an aborted take-off by an Emirates airline passenger jet this month at Dubai airport, the carrier confirmed on Saturday.
The jet, carrying passengers to Hyderabad, India, was instructed to ‘reject take-off on departure’, which the spokesperson said was completed successfully.
An Emirates spokesperson said: “On January 9, flight EK524 was instructed by air traffic control to reject take-off on departure from Dubai and this was completed successfully.
“There was no aircraft damage, nor were there any injuries. Safety is always our top priority, and as with any incident we are conducting our own internal review,” read the statement to Khaleej Times.
