Emirates Boeing 777 declares Mayday over Miami after 17-hour Dubai flight runs low fuel following two missed landings
An Emirates Boeing 777-300ER, operating flight 213 after more than 17 hours from Dubai, reached Miami during thunderstorms and encountered windshear/poor visibility. The crew missed a first landing and, after being unable to land on a second attempt because the runway wasn’t clear, the aircraft declared a low-fuel Mayday and diverted.
