An Emirates Airlines Airbus A380-800, registration A6-EOL performing flight
EK-73 from Dubai (United Arab Emirates) to Paris Charles de Gaulle (France), was climbing through about 1000 feet out of Dubai's runway 12R when loud noise was heard and a jolt was felt. The flight crew decided to continue the climb monitoring all aircraft parameters. Climbing through about 5000 feet one of the cabin crew informed the flight deck about damage visible to the cowling of the #1 engine (GP7270). The crew stopped the climb at 12000 feet and returned to Dubai for a safe landing on runway 12L about 105 minutes after departure.
The aircraft remained on the ground until Feb 10th 2025 before returning to service.
The United Arab Emirates' GCAA rated the occurrence an incident and opened an investigation, stating the aircraft received minor damage.
