The passengers of Emirates flight EK448 faced an unsual situation, where the New Zealand bound flight took off from Dubai and landed back to Dubai after flying for over 13 hours. This unusual situation occurred due to the heavy flooding in New Zealand's largest city, Auckland. The Auckland Airport was temporarily closed due to damage from heavy flooding, but has since reopened.
