Reports have surfaced about an Emirates flight to New York last month that experienced an unexpected landing. The flight, operated by an Airbus A380, had to declare an emergency after one of its engines shut down. Despite the incident, the aircraft landed safely in New York using its remaining three engines.

The affected flight was Emirates EK203, which operates from Dubai International Airport to New York JFK Airport. The incident occurred on June 28 and resulted in the plane being grounded for a week before returning to service.

An issue with the left outboard Rolls-Royce Trent 972 engine prompted the crew to shut it down and declare an emergency. Despite this, they were able to continue flying the aircraft safely to its destination at JFK Airport. The Aviation Herald reported that there were 450 people onboard when it landed safely on runway 22L.

According to ch-aviation, the specific Airbus A380 (A6-EUW) involved has a four-class configuration with a total of 484 seats. Simple Flying has contacted Emirates for more information about this incident and will provide updates when available.

Flightradar24 data shows that normally this aircraft spends about two-and-a-half hours on the ground in New York before returning to Dubai as EK204. However, due to the engine issue, the return flight was canceled and it took a week before A6-EUW could fly again.

The plane eventually returned to Dubai under positioning flight number EK2692 and later resumed passenger flights starting with a trip to Sydney.
