Flight to Dubai with no one on board

A Dubai-bound Emirates flight from Ahmedabad, India, flew without a single passenger because the power failure at the airport disrupted the mandatory security check-ins at the airport, Indian media reported.
The power failure was caused by heavy rains which resulted in 44 minutes delay in flight take-off and was forced to leave without any passengers, Times of India reported on its website.
On the issue, an Emirates spokesperson told the paper that "Due to the water logging at the international terminal of the Ahmedabad International airport on Sunday, the passengers of flight were not able to enter the terminal and not permitted to check-in by the respective local authorities. As a result the flight had to depart for Dubai with no passengers on board."
