Emirates Airline's training and ros-tering practices have been criticised by South African investigators in their report into a take-off accident involving one of the carrier's Airbus A340-300s at Johannesburg in April 2004. The A340 was seriously damaged after its wheels hit the approach lights on the overrun of runway 21R before it climbed away. The aircraft returned to the airport for an emergency landing in which none of the 260 passengers and 14 crew on board was injured.
