Even Emirates Has Problems
In the interests of objectivity and fairness to other airlines, the following was reported on another board :
"Listening to scanner last night, EK421 after take off was unable to retract under carriage, so dumped fuel and landed back at Perth. Departed 10:47pm and landed Perth 00:09am, still at the terminal as of 3:38am Aircraft was A6-ERB A345. "

I was also listening to the scanner and heard this unfold. Anybody have any updated information on this?

Appears to be still at the terminal, looking at acars.
Departing Sat 09 Aug 08 Perth International Airport (PER) 22:30 | Scheduled **00:00 | Estimated From EK website, ** being 2 days later, so that would be a scheduled departure of midnight tonight. (ie Monday morning).

 Im sure we could find somehow to link it to Qantas  "The catering company that supplies Qantas has been linked to an airline that suffered mechanical problems last night, in another headache for the national carrier" LOL!!!!

Looking at ACARS, it would appear the a/c hasnt left Perth yet.
Anyone able to confirm? EDIT: Looks like we have another revised departure time of 7AM tomorrow morning as EK421A.
