373 passengers stuck on Emirates plane for 10 hours

An Emirates plane was going to land in Shanghai on July 22, but it had to go to another airport because of bad weather.

The crew thought they could fly again when the weather got better, so they didn't do the usual immigration checks for the passengers.

The Emirates plane is an Airbus A380-800, a big airplane that can carry many people.

The crew had to wait a long time, and they weren't allowed to work anymore, so a new crew had to come.

The air conditioning on the plane stopped working, and some people got sick, so medical help was needed.

When the new crew tried to start the plane, they found more problems that stopped it from flying.

The passengers could finally get off the plane at 6 a.m. and were given a place to stay and a way to get to Shanghai.

The plane stayed on the ground in Hangzhou for two days before going back to Dubai.

Emirates said sorry for the problems, which were caused by technical issues and the need for a new crew.

The airline said it's normal to keep passengers on the plane when it goes to a different airport, to avoid complicated immigration procedures.

The airport in Hangzhou was also criticized for not communicating well with the airline during the long delay.

This incident showed how hard it can be to handle big planes when there are bad weather, crew rules, and technical problems all at the same time.
