I believe i experience an aborted landing when flying BOM-DXB on EK during mid January 2009. The aircraft, a B777-300ER was descending as per normal and was about 5 - 10 metres above the ground (it was dark, however, i may have that figure slightly wrong) and slowing rapidly when suddenly the engines spooled up, wing flap position changed and we began to rapidly and steeply climb out over dubai.

Ten minutes, as we circled the city, the captain advised us that there was another aircraft on the runway when we were attempting to land. The cabin was suprisingly calm given the violence with which the aircraft returned to the sky and it was only during my 6 hour layover at DXB that the full implications of what could have happened finally hit me, or maybe it was those infuriatingly uncomfortable recliner chairs of Terminal 3 that were driving me insane. *shrugs*
