An Emirates Airbus A380-800, registration A6-EUF performing flight EK-2 from London Heathrow,EN (UK) to Dubai (United Arab Emirates), was climbing out of Heathrow's runway 27L when the aircraft stopped the climb at 6000 feet due to problems with the landing gear. The aircraft subsequently climbed to FL100 and entered a hold for about 80 minutes and returned to Heathrow for a safe landing on runway 27R about 1:55 hours after departure.
A passenger reported the crew re-cycled the landing gear several times then entered a hold at Biggin Hill for troubleshooting. The aircraft returned to Heathrow and remains on the ground for a technical inspection.
Ground observers reported a main or body gear door remained open.
The airline reported the aircraft returned to Heathrow due to a technical problem.
The aircraft is still on the ground in London about 25.5 hours after landing.
