Emirates plane recalled to Mumbai : 2 Passengers Questioned
2010 February 7
The Emirates flight EK-505 was preparing for takeoff to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, when it was halted after the airport received the call saying two passengers on board belonged to a terror group, the official said on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak to reporters.
An Emirates official confirmed the delay in Mumbai and said two passengers were taken off the plane. A male passenger – identified as Shahbaz – and his wife have been detained by the Sahar Airport police for questioning.
The procedure went on for over four hours. The flight left for Dubai shortly after 2 p.m., the official said.
