An Emirates flight from Chennai to Dubai was delayed on September 24 after smoke was detected from its tail during refueling. Passengers were evacuated and made to wait outside for 50 minutes due to safety protocols following a fire in the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) of the Boeing 777-300ER. Ground staff and fire services quickly responded to manage the situation. Emirates confirmed the delay was due to a technical fault and issued an apology, emphasizing passenger safety. The flight eventually departed after receiving clearance from engineering teams.
