Title: A6-EDL UAE18 A380 Delayed at Manchester
Post by: CAM on September 06, 2010, 04:57:53 PM
A6-EDL has been delayed at Manchester today and the departure time keeps being pushed out, it is now shown as an 18:45 departure, (should be 14:10).

I saw this beast land today at the second attempt, the pilot aborted the first landing and went round.

Any one any idea if there is an issue ?

Now delayed until tomorrow, does that equal cancelled?

I wonder if there was a problem, hence the aborted landing?

According to this A6-EDL has gone tech, undercarriage issues.
