When the A380 was under construction and development they would often fly to Keflavik airport in Iceland when winds were very high for practicing. It’s indeed a great aero plane.
Beautifully shot video. I've flown on the 380 several times and it amazes me that a plane of this size can even take off and fly, let alone fly that fast for more than 14 hrs 😅😅 Every time I see one take off or land, it just feels so unreal.
I arrived at Heathrow that morning on a Virgin Atlantic flight from Johannesburg. It was a very scary experience and there was a deathly hush amongst the passengers while coming in on the final approach. Awesome job done by the flight crew.
@@rangaab6142 I believe that the A380 was dangerously low on fuel so the pilot had no choice but to divert and land in those conditions. A Facebook article showed that this aircraft circled Heathrow five or six times before going to another airport.
@@kevinchamberlain2195 oh ok thank you . I searched google on this but the articles said like (i did not try to read fully ) the flight was divert due to the diverse weather conditions..
Oddly on this day the wind in Gatwick was as strong and planes were diverting from Gatwick. I think what surprised me most about this flight was that it was a fuel emergency. Generally speaking on days like this. From my own 10 years experience. You would take enough fuel for two approaches followed by a diversion to a more suitable aerodrome and perhaps even two approaches there. I think this A380 did one approach into heathrow.
I was on that plane very scary but well done to everyone for landing safely,just to update what happens next we were told by pilot that we were going to refuel and take off again to land at Heathrow then after 3 hours sitting on the runway we were told we would now be embarking at Gatwick where coaches would be waiting to transfer us to Heathrow at 5.30 by 7pm still no coaches left standing outside in wind and rain ,I gave up in the end and share a taxi with a other couple back to Heathrow,just wondering if anyone knows what time coaches did turn up and what time you got to Heathrow thanks
@@hasanjamil3969 I don't know for sure. But most likely she'd complained to customer services about the wait and then demanded that they make her baggage available to be customs cleared (if that hadn't already taken place) and then released so that she could catch a cab. I'd have done that.

Hi Diane, glad you landed safely. It seems there were a few diverted on the day, including another Emirates A380 flight which was diverted to Birmingham. I wasn't sure at the time what was happening as I was stood there I noticed the fire engine chasing the plane down the runway. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Hardly an emergency landing! it was simply diverted to another airport which happens very frequently in the autumn and winter. Even the A380 has to do go arounds every so often. I live near glidepath into Manchester and it has happened more than once here.
I saw it go around at LHR! It came in, flew over the spotting area (Myrtle avenue) and just seconds going over the runway it went around. If anyone wants to see it it’s on my yt.
Glad you got it. Wasn't Jerry's plane in that hold for like 2 hours before it landed from LAX? Then later he headed over there to live stream. Didn't seem as windy when he was there compared to when you were there.
Two emirates planes declared emergency that day. One diverted to Birmingham and one to Gatwick. Several other planes landed at Heathrow but most of them had to do a go around. One of the planes went around twice and landed on the third attempt. Must have been so scary for the passengers.
Hi Alisa, thanks for telling us more what happened that day. I did also hear that a second Emirates was diverted to Birmingham and I think an Air India flight was also diverted to Gatwick that day. Some of the comments on here are from passengers saying they were definitely scared and from what I have read. The crews are incredible and had great skill.
How different were the landing conditions at Gatwick compared to Heathrow? Gatwick is located quite close to Heathrow so that I would expect weather conditions to be roughly the same. Great work by the pilots anyhow.
Great question, maybe one of the pilots or crew could answer this. I can assure you the gusts at ground level nearly sent the camera and tripod flying on several occasions. Great skill by the pilots in those conditions.
Other comments here say they were running low on fuel. At the time I really wasn't sure what was happening as all I saw were the fire engines surrounding the plane and it holding just off the runway. Glad everyone was ok.
Surprisingly, it's such a short hop skip and a jump (in flying terms) from Heathrow to Gatwick LHR to LGW but there seems to have been such a vast wind velocity variation. Bear in mind too, that both LGW and LHR have (more or less) East & West aligned runways, so crosswind considerations probably wouldn't have been much of a consideration in relation to the reason for diverting. Still, it did seem to pertain to the very gusty wind conditions at LHR on that day.
Couldn’t really say but the tail fin is huge and like a sail. But the weight would be harder to shift. @sdtv has an amazing 380 crosswind landing. Worth checking out.
@@colinnich 😹😹I get it now. It was supposed to land at Heathrow. My initial thinking was that it departed Heathrow and now its landing at Gatwick. That didn't make sense. Thanks for your answer😅
It wasn’t - it exited the runway on one of the taxiways, and it just looked like it went off onto the grass because the grass is slightly higher than the taxiway. More deceiving because of the effect of the telephoto lense.
we were followed by fire crews, so maybe we diverted off because of that, the cameras on the A380 picked up the fire engines behind us, that made us even more anxious at the time
I think it's due to perception. I can see what looks like a taxi way. It's possible the grass is slightly taller, which gives the impression the plane is moving on grass.
Why would this be an Emergency, when in aviation terms it was simply a Diversion for a reason. In this Case windspeed or Wind sheer. other reasons could have been Fog, visibility mechanical malfunction. This was not an emergency but like so many videos on YT, Titled to attract clicks (ClickBait),
this was the true reason One of the world's largest passenger planes declared an emergency in mid-air before diverting to Gatwick. Emirates flight EK1, from Dubai, was set to land at London Heathrow Airport yesterday morning but was diverted to Gatwick after it declared an emergency due to "adverse weather conditions" The Fire engines were a precautionary measure all aircraft that declare an “emergency”
Hi Paula, the fire engines were in front and behind the plane, so you may not have been aware of them..? Glad you all landed safely. Thanks for watching.
Seems objectively accurate to me - in aviation if you have emergency services on the tarmac following you it is a declared emergency- also that was a very challenging landing
Such a mighty lady of the skies
Well done pilots and staff
When the A380 was under construction and development they would often fly to Keflavik airport in Iceland when winds were very high for practicing. It’s indeed a great aero plane.
Even the A380 was being shifted in the wind. That was some landing. Great video.
Incredible skill by the pilots Mary, incredible to watch. Thanks for watching.
Always in safe hands with Emirates.🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️✈️
Absolutely ❤

It just doesn’t seem aerodynamic.
I arrived at Heathrow that morning on a Virgin Atlantic flight from Johannesburg. It was a very scary experience and there was a deathly hush amongst the passengers while coming in on the final approach. Awesome job done by the flight crew.
I am wondering what was the main reason for/behind the emergency landing !!

A380 amazing..
Is the 380 more likely to have problems with landing in crosswinds because of it's size?
Couldn’t really say but the tail fin is huge and like a sail. But the weight would be harder to shift. @sdtv has an amazing 380 crosswind landing. Worth checking out.
Why would they divert it? I thought airplanes fly high enough away from such kind of weather elements.
I'm no expert, but you normally have to come in fairly low to land 😀

I’ll take a look this afternoon 👍🏼
@@chrisjohnhyman found it. Landed just before a Norse 787 took off. Were you onboard at the time?
@@RunwaysTV I was flying it.
why it was moving on ground instead of runway?
It wasn’t - it exited the runway on one of the taxiways, and it just looked like it went off onto the grass because the grass is slightly higher than the taxiway. More deceiving because of the effect of the telephoto lense.
Must be the angle of the camera.

why is it moving over the grass? Is it normal?
tricked the eye🤣
@@willemh3319 not
we were followed by fire crews, so maybe we diverted off because of that, the cameras on the A380 picked up the fire engines behind us, that made us even more anxious at the time
@@dianeappleby8746 Thanks for the explanation… Were you the captain and will it cause damage to the airplane if it travels on grass?
I think it's due to perception. I can see what looks like a taxi way. It's possible the grass is slightly taller, which gives the impression the plane is moving on grass.
Why is diverting due to weather an emergency?
Really not sure what or why, but very controlled and professionally flown.
Why all of the firefighters for a fuel low emergency? Seems a bit silly.
Not sure, at the time I had no clue what was happening? They must have their reasons?
i migliori aeri al mondo
Only one plane diverted and a big one at that ?

gak ada apa2 kok. gak ada insiden apa2. mulus2 aja
Was very controlled. True professionals
Typical of Emirates going down the sink now compared to years ago I avoid them now
Sorry to hear that. You must have your reasons.
cringe at your clickbait thumbnail
Seems objectively accurate to me - in aviation if you have emergency services on the tarmac following you it is a declared emergency- also that was a very challenging landing
That emirates was squawking 7700 which means it declared emergency. That’s no clickbait
Heathrow is the worst airport anyway
Sorry to hear you feel that way. I’m sure you have your reasons.
Smart pilot 👨✈️
Wow, another Airbust with an inflight problem. That never happens (sarcasm).
