Самолет А-380 2007 года выпуска авиакомпании Emirates выполнял рейс из Дубая (ОАЭ) в Нью-Йорк (США) после четырнадцатичасовой задержки в аэропорту вылета, связанной с неисправностью одного из топливных насосов. Возникшая через три часа после вылета неисправность в электрической системе заставила экипаж принять решение о возвращении в Дубай. Неисправность электрики заключалась в отказе индивидуального освещения радио-, видеоаппаратуры в пассажирском салоне.
