Emirates Airlines awaits report on Kochi emergency landing

Chennai: Emirates Airline is awaiting reports of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and its own team on the emergency landing of one of its flights in Kochi last month.
“The DGCA is carrying out the investigation. The official report will come from us and DGCA,” Orhan Abbas, the Dubai-based airline’s vice president (India and Nepal), told reporters here Thursday.
Last month a Kochi-bound Emirates flight carrying 350 passengers and 14 crew suddenly lost height due to turbulence while flying over Bangalore at a height of 35,000 ft. The airline had put the height loss to just 200 feet. Around 23 people were injured in the incident.
