Emirates Flight Diverts to India due to Medical Emergency
Emirates flight EK440 had to make an emergency landing at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai, India on August 9th.
The plane, heading from Dubai to Adelaide, Australia, was diverted after an elderly passenger, identified by some media sources as B Peter Richard, of Sydney, died onboard.
The plane landed uneventfully and later returned to Dubai due to Adelaide International Airport’s night-time flight restrictions.
The flight was scheduled to depart at 11 p.m.
