Qantas flight QF1929 had to make an emergency landing at Brisbane Airport.
Passengers were repeatedly told to ‘stay down, head down’ by cabin crew as the plane landed at Brisbane Airport after departing for Adelaide.
The plane took off at 8.20am and was in the air for about 40 minutes before returning to Brisbane.
Qantas said the emergency landing was due to a mechanical problem.
‘A flight from Brisbane to Adelaide returned to Brisbane shortly after take-off due to a mechanical problem. The aircraft landed normally and is being checked by engineers.”
‘We realize this may have been concerning for customers and thank them for their understanding.
‘We are working hard to get customers on their way as quickly as possible.’
This is a breaking story. There’s more to come.
