Anyone know what happened with this flight today?
Came in from Dubai this morning, but not sure what happened after that.
EK 413 back to Dubai tonight is cancelled.
Is on ACARS as 77L A6-EWF

From the info I've seen (which is different to the www.sydneyairport.com.au info), it's still due to arrive from Auckland at 2005 and depart at 2145 off Bay 60.

Thanks Nigel, i'm not sure what the go is. If it did depart for AKL today, i'm gathering it was quite late according to Sydney airport departures info, although it said "closed" rather than "completed" in status.

More info...

It appears, looking out the office window, that there is an Emirates B777 parked at Bay 99. It's kind of hard to positively tell the operator from a direct head-on at nearly half a km away, but it does have writing on the nose like other Emirates aircraft.

Cheers

It will be interesting to see what the problem is. Sounds like it is not going anywhere tonight....

Thanks Nigel

Turns out it is the aircraft in question. There has been no movement near the aircraft since I first saw it just after 1700.
