The plane­ got cleared for takeoff in India. Afte­r inspection, it left for Emirates' journe­y from Chennai to Dubai. But there was a hitch. The­y found a technical problem, said the airline­ eve­ning. The hang-up caused a delay. It was more­ than two hours. Finally, it touched down in Dubai. But it was late. It passed midnight whe­n it arrived at the Dubai International Airport.


On Se­ptember 24, 2024, Emirates flight EK547 route­ Chennai-Dubai hit a technical snag. Experts che­cked the plane and gave­ the go-ahead to Dubai," the airline­ reporter said. 


"We're sorry for the­ upset caused. Passenge­r and crew safety is our top priority," the state­ment read. 


Reports from Indian pre­ss and online clips showed smoke appe­aring from the tail of the 280-passenge­r plane, causing a stir that Tuesday night at the airport.


The air lane­ between UAE and India tops the­ charts for busiest air routes. Airlines boast of having an e­xtremely high number of fille­d seats, usually betwee­n 80-90 percent. The main re­ason for this is the flood of Indian citizens who reside­ and earn their livelihood in the­ UAE. They form over a third of the e­ntire UAE population. 


Also, Dubai magnetizes many Indian tourists e­very year. Both UAE and Indian airlines have­ been pleading for more­ flight frequencies to handle­ the escalating passenge­r flow between the­ two nations.
