In the interests of objectivity and fairness to other airlines, the following was reported on another board :
"Listening to scanner last night, EK421 after take off was unable to retract under carriage, so dumped fuel and landed back at Perth. Departed 10:47pm and landed Perth 00:09am, still at the terminal as of 3:38am Aircraft was A6-ERB A345. " |

Appears to be still at the terminal, looking at acars.
Departing Sat 09 Aug 08 Perth International Airport (PER) 22:30 | Scheduled **00:00 | Estimated From EK website, ** being 2 days later, so that would be a scheduled departure of midnight tonight. (ie Monday morning).

Looking at ACARS, it would appear the a/c hasnt left Perth yet.
Anyone able to confirm? EDIT: Looks like we have another revised departure time of 7AM tomorrow morning as EK421A.
