An Emirates plane flying (click here) from Dubai to New York JFK has declared an emergency and diverted. The aircraft will probably land in Manchester in the UK due to a medical situation, media reported.
At the moment, Flightradar24 website lists the flight as delayed.
AirLive.net reports that the aircraft is heading to Manchester and will land in 25 minutes (around 13:20GMT). The website says the emergency is of a medical nature.
The plane is now on approach to the city and has descended to around 1097 meter, The Mirror reports. Manchester has the third busiest airport in Britain after Heathrow and Gatwick.
The Airbus A380, a double-deck wide-bodied jet, is among the world's largest passenger airliners, and provides seating for up to 525 people in a typical three-class configuration, or for up to 853 people in an all-economy class seating plan....
"The Mirror" is tasking the airline industry to know the decline of aircraft as well. Well done. It is scary to think about. The current tragedy was downed in the mountains. I don't believe that was the priority of the co-pilot either. He was taking an opportunity not planning the safety of those on the ground. He obviously didn't care who died with him.
Additionally, we have witnessed the outcome of a commercial jet over a war zone as well.
