https://simpleflying.com/damaged-emirat ... ies-again/Damaged Emirates Airbus A380 Makes First Flight In Half A Year
March 1, 2020
Yesterday, an Emirates A380 that was damaged last August made its first test flight since its accident.
The superjumbo fell on its nose last summer
during routine maintenance at its operator’s hangar at Dubai International Airport (DXB).
Airbus has since repaired the jet ahead of its testing.
What initially happened?
On August 22nd, the front wheel of the A380 completely collapsed.
This left the plane with a torn fuselage, along with structural damage.
Reportedly, it slipped off a hydraulic jack, which crushed its nose and gear doors.
Following the repairs, the aircraft, registration A6-EOP took flight from DXB on the afternoon of February 29th.
According to AirNav RadarBox, flight EK2552 departed the airport at 14:20.
