The first of the incidents happened on June 25th, 2016. On this date, an A380, conducting flight EK407, was arriving from Dubai when it descended below the minimum assigned altitude for a standard arrival route.
ATSB states that a key reason why the Dubai-based carrier went lower than expected was that it understood the approach differently to ground workers.
