Water leak from ceiling hits Emirates A380 on Dubai‑Istanbul flight
Passengers on Emirates flight EK123 from Dubai to Istanbul experienced water pouring from the cabin ceiling shortly after takeoff on September 17, 2026, as captured in a viral video.1
The Airbus A380 continued to Istanbul after crew relocated passengers from the affected seats, with one passenger describing being soaked like a waterfall and later moved to a seat without an entertainment screen; Emirates said the water resulted from condensation rather than a structural fault.1
