Emirates 39/40 Cancelled today.

The images of the flooding at Dubai airport are simply astonishing (BBC et al). No wonder flights are being cancelled.

I am not sure that you can adapt a 380 into a seaplane....

Bit of a persecution complex here.

They've managed to successfully depart flights to Heathrow, Stanstead, Gatwick, Glasgow and Manchester today but little old Birmingham has to sit there in its own puddle.

Maybe the stand our aircraft was parked on was flooded while others were still usable

Today's Emirates Sky Cargo B77X seems to have disappeared of the arrivals for today.
Possibly down to the adverse conditions in the Middle East.

A6-EFJ 777-F operating as EK9923 is just on finals for runway 33 now from Frankfurt, though as you say EKs entire operation is running in some places days behind at the moment so sudden/strange changes aren't uncommon.

Last night's 777 pax flight didn't land until 03:08 this morning and only departed just under an hour ago at 12:02 and we didn't see the lunch time A380 at all yesterday

I think it'll be a while until they're completely back to normal as these sorts of delays seem to be across their entire network, I don't know where you just recover an entire days worth of scheduling from

Quite

Manchester’s EK19 was also cancelled, alongside EK31, EK6, EK9 and possibly a few others

Several made it out was my point. Ours didn't.

Heathrow is like a bus service (not Travel West Midlands buses I must add - a decent one!!) one lands while one takes off.

Things are getting better, MAN this morning the fist flight was several hours late the second a couple with the 3rd cancelled due lack of aircraft but I think near back to normal tomorrow as it hasn`t rained for a couple of days and Heathrow has had several cancelled but I believe they are running out of food DXB with I believe over 100 flights cancelled

[Nethercote2019]

I have a friend who has been waiting 3 days in J’burg to get home & EK have now booked them on the direct BA flight

I guess EK are doing all they can, to get rid of what must be a huge backlog. I applaud the airline for doing what they can in what must be a logistical nightmare.

Emirates ops at BHX today are much more normal than the previous few days.

I mean its not like BA or any other airline would cope any better with a dump of snow at Heathrow? Imagine the chaos that would cause ??

Hello BHX wrong as always, LHR curfew kicks in at 12, they only allowed them once as the airline offered to pay the charges
