| EMIRATES AIRBUS A380-861 A6-EEP (MSN 138) |
An Emirates flight from Dubai (DXB/OMDB) which was meant to land in Perth (PER/YPPH) aborted the landing and diverted to Melbourne due to extremely strong winds.
Two hours and fifty-five minutes had been added to the already ten-hour journey after the diversion when the flight landed at Melbourne Airport at 8.50pm
Looking at Flightradar24 the flight attempted to land twice before the pilot decided to go to Melbourne instead. The first attempt was at 5.30 pm local on runway 06, it aborted, climbed to 5,000 feet and circled for twenty minutes before making a second attempt, again on runway 06 at 6.02 pm.
