The crew decided to make an emergency landing after a passenger became critically unwell.
The Airbus A380 (reg. VH-OQJ) was planned to resume its leg to London with a takeoff at 8.55 (local time) from Athens.
But the flight is delayed and passengers are stuck in the plane on the tarmac, waiting for updates.
