Dar es Salaam. An Airbus A380 belonging to Emirates was on Saturday, April 15, forced to land at the Julius Nyerere International Airport, Dar es Salaam, the plane had 514 passengers and crew on board.

The plane which was flying from Sao Paolo Brazil to Dubai reportedly experienced technical issues that forced it to land in Tanzania.

Other sources who are privy to the airport’s operations said the plane with registration EK262, had to stop over to avoid the Sudan airspace, therefore necessitating to refuel.

Sudan's airspace was closed on Saturday after the country was gripped political unrest between two rival military factions on Saturday.

Airport management has yet to comment on the incident.

This was not the first time that a plane belonging to the Emirates of that size and make has landed at JNIA for emergence reasons.

On April 23, 2018, Flight EK 701 belonging to Emirates was diverted to Dar with 503 passengers and crew on board on board due to bad weather. Its original itinerary was Dubai to Mauritius.

Please explain to me in technical terms how JNIA can accommodate the A380 whereas JKIA cannot... we both know JKIA Runway is longer and wider so explain what you mean giving figures
 
What concerns me is the rate at which these buildings come tumbling down. The rate is unmatched in the region.
Simply because there is much more construction going on in Nairobi than any other city you are comparing Nairobi to. Do not pretend that you did not see my post on recent building collapses in Dar. There are fewer cases simply because there are fewer buildings being constructed

Let me remind you and put you in your place.

"Dar real estate is USD 3bn more than Nairobi".

Nadhani sasa tunaweza kufunga mjadala.

JKIA

Terminal capacity is exceeded and congested landing of A380 will bring alot of inconvenience to the A380 passengers.

Air bridges to handle A380 are non existent at JKIA.

Aside airbridges, JKIA doesn't have required fuel pumps with a needed flowrate for A380!

That means Nairobi constructs many building than all African cities combined, isn't?.

Umeshasikia majengo kuporomoka in Egypt?, China?, Addis Ababa, Johannesburg, Durban, Capetown and many others?.

Don't you know that Dar es Salaam is the Sixth fastest growing city in the world?, dont you know that Dar es Salaam is 2 times bigger than Nairobi, and it grows 3 times faster than Nairobi?
 
Official Ground breaking will be on April 20th By The Prime Minister of the United Republic of Tanzania.

Tunaweza kufunga ya kuwa Kenyan engineers have undertaken the largest real estate projects successfully. It is only disasters concerning small, poorly-regulated construction jobs that catch the news. No one will report anything about the many +10-storey apartment blocks opening in Nairobi every month, but it will be worldwide news and Tanzanian rejoicing for a year if a 2-storey building collapses in some estate in the outskirts of the city. Also, you said nothing of the examples of recent building collapses in Dar that I posted here.

For this 3bn figure, where's the source of your information?

What I mean is that there's a lot of lower-end construction going on. These collapses are likely where there's a lot of construction going on but poor regulation, which is something I conceded early in this conversation.

Anyway, here's Cairo:
