Authorities in the United Arab Emirates are probing what Emirates described as “technical incident” shortly after one of its aircraft took off from Dubai on Dec. 21.
“We can confirm that a technical incident occurred on the departure of EK231 on 20 December 2021,” the state-owned airline said in a statement in response to questions from Bloomberg on Wednesday. “The flight continued safely to its destination, and after technical clearances the aircraft operated the return flight to Dubai.”
