A report into the Emirates flight that crash landed last year concluded that ‘there were no aircraft systems or engine abnormalities up to the time of the accident.’

A flight from Trivandrum International Airport crashed on landing in August last year. 

One year on a report from the United Arab Emirates’ General Civil Aviation Authority reveals there were no abnormalities on the plane, which crashed on landing. At the time, the plane had aborted a landing due to harsh weather conditions but eventually hit the runway as the landing gear was retracting.

The crew and passengers were aborted safely, some suffered minor injuries while a firefighter tragically lost his life during the rescue operation.
