The Airbus A380-800 with registration A6-EUL was scheduled to depart as flight EK262 from Sao Paulo to Dubai. However, while the aircraft was accelerating for takeoff on runway 10L, the left engine experienced a brief surge.

A loud bang erupted from one of the left-hand Rolls-Royce GP7270 engines, followed by streaks of flames, as reported by the Aviation Herald. Reacting swiftly, the crew rejected the takeoff at a low speed of approximately 40 knots.

The aircraft taxied off the runway via taxiway “Lima” without further incident.

Following the engine issue, the flight was ultimately canceled. The A380 remained grounded in Sao Paulo for repairs until June 17th, when it returned to Dubai.

An airport source revealed that Emirates flight #EK508 reported a bird strike upon arrival at Mumbai airport at 9.18 pm.

The flight was on final approach for landing and managed to touch down safely but the plane was damaged during the incident. Mumbai air traffic control reported that the pilots informed them of multiple bird strikes.

Following the incident, 36 flamingoes have been found dead in Pantnagar Ghatkopar area after the strike with the Emirates Boeing 777-300ER.

The return flight – bound for Dubai – was cancelled late last evening. The aircraft registration A6-ENT is currently grounded, and engineers are being flown in to examine the plane.

D Stalin, an environmentalist with the NGO Vanashakti, said, “What caused the birds to fly into the aeroplane etc. are being investigated. My theory is the new power lines through the sanctuary area are causing disorientation to the birds.
