February 8, 2023 by Qurat ul Ain Khan Qurat ul Ain

Emirates flight was diverted to Erbil in Iraq.
A passenger suffered a medical emergency.
The passenger was met by local medical staff upon arrival.

Dubai: An Emirates flight bound for Brussels, Belgium, was diverted to Erbil in Iraq after a passenger on board suffered a medical emergency. An Emirates spokesperson said, “Emirates flight EK181 was diverted to Erbil (and) the passenger was met by local medical staff upon arrival.”

After less than two hours on the ground, the aircraft refueled and continued its journey to Brussels. Emirates apologized for the inconvenience caused. “The safety of our crew and passengers is of the utmost importance,” said the airline.

Emirates presently serves Brussels using Boeing 777-300ER aircraft outfitted with its ‘Game Changer’ fully enclosed First Class cabins. Since January 2023, the airline has expanded its footprint in the Asian, Australian, and European markets with service additions to Brisbane, Bangkok, Taiwan, Tokyo-Haneda, Glasgow, and Birmingham.

Passenger gives birth during an Emirates flight to Dubai

January 23, 2023 by Qurat ul Ain Khan Qurat ul Ain

The crew provided quick medical help.
The traveler and infant were in stable condition.
The flight continued to Dubai as per schedule.

Dubai: A Japanese passenger en route to Dubai gave birth on an Emirates flight.

According to the airline, the crew provided quick medical help and adequate care to the mother and child upon arrival.

Emirates told in a statement: “Emirates can confirm a birth on board flight EK319 from Tokyo Narita to Dubai on January 19. The crew assisted the passenger, and the flight continued to Dubai as per schedule.”

“The traveler and infant were in stable condition and were met by local medical staff upon arrival in Dubai,” the spokesman said. The health and safety of our staff and passengers are of the utmost importance.” The flight left Tokyo Narita at 10.31 p.m. (Japanese time) and arrived in Dubai at 5.44 p.m. (UAE time).

Air travel is usually considered risky for pregnant women after 36 weeks of pregnancy unless otherwise instructed by their doctors. Emirates cabin crew members have intensive training to deal with medical crises ranging from heart attacks to deliveries. It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time an Emirates passenger has given birth in the air. At least three such accidents have been reported by Dubai’s flag airline.

A woman gave birth on a COVID-19 repatriation flight from Lagos, Nigeria, to Dubai in May 2020, and a passenger gave birth on a Dubai-Paris route in 2017.

After a baby was delivered on board its flight to Manila in 2012, the airline was forced to make an emergency halt in Vietnam. According to reports, the couple named their son ‘EK’ after the airline’s flight code.

Tribute to father

A must-attend event is a private conversation between Julia Wheeler and Sheikha Latifa bint Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who will share insights on her recently released book “Through My Eyes,” which is a tribute to her father, with the audience.

“At Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, we hold the collaboration with Emirates Literature Foundation in great regard,” said Dr. Saeed Mubarak bin Kharbash, CEO of the arts and literature sector.

He added, since part of our sectoral aims to make sure that our local talent is being highlighted in front of a regional and global audience, we are eager to promote the Bil Emirati strand as it highlights Emiratis who are distinguished in the cultural area for a larger audience. Events like these help achieve Dubai’s goals of becoming a major cultural metropolis, an incubator for creativity, and a vibrant center for talent.

The Emirates Airline Festival of Literature’s director, Ahlam Bolooki, stated: “Creativity is the greatest national treasure of all countries.

The Arab world, especially the UAE, is teeming with a talent for the rest of the globe to appreciate.

Prisoners’ recipe book

Following the launch of “Tomorrow, I Will Fly,” the Festival commemorates the publication of “Feeding the Soul,” a novel cookbook with recipes contributed by prisoners at Dubai’s prisons and correctional facilities.

Isobel Abulhoul, Colonel Jamila Al Zaabi, and Zahra Abdalla will be on a panel to discuss the culinary journey that led to the publishing project and why food feeds more than just our bodies.

While most of the sessions are held at the Intercontinental Dubai Festival City, attendees can also take abras (traditional boats) on Dubai Creek and attend some sessions at the Mohammed bin Rashid Library, where Ali Al Saloom and Prof. Giovanni Bozzeti will share tips on how to be sensitive to cultural customs when interacting with people from different backgrounds in both professional and personal settings.
