Stephen Fry tweets aboard diverted Qantas A380 in Dubai

Dubai: British actor, comedian and writer Stephen Fry was on an Qantas plane from Sydney to London which made an emergency landing in Dubai due to engine problems.

Fry continuously tweeted regarding his disappointment on being delayed.

The plane could not fly but the service they received was excellent.

“I think plan is to bus us to the transit lounge and await International Rescue. This plane, the crew tell me, is going nowhere,” he tweeted.

“So either Sydney send another one out or they come to an accommodation with Emirates. Either way not a great week for #qantas ! I should in all conscience add that staff are being wonderful & that morale is high and the passengers understanding & cheerful”.

'Bloody furious'

Fry was “bloody furious” with himself for leaving his wallet on board but was “Reunited with wallet & cards so v relieved ! Hurrah. Qantas have gone to the trouble & expense of this: which is nice”.

He also posted a picture of the apology letter the airline issued the passengers on twitter.
