Saturday 14 October saw EY450 from AUH to SYD (B773Er A6-ETR) divert and terminate at ADL with an emergency landing at about 0500 hours (pre curfew) due to the smoke alarm activating thanks to a defective air fan in the cargo hold.
Passengers apparently alighted via the emergency exits. I assume this means that slides were deployed.
EY451 from SYD to AUH, the scheduled 1620 hours departure was cancelled as a result.
