Qantas aircraft makes emergency landing in Sydney on Saturday afternoon
AAP and other media have reported that another Qantas aircraft has been involved in an incident, this time making an emergency landing at Sydney airport this afternoon.
It is believed the plane had taken off from Sydney en route to Manila when the pilot declared an emergency.
An Air Services Australia spokesman said the pilot was forced to turn back to Sydney shortly taking off from Sydney’s international airport, adding, “Air traffic controllers received a call from the pilot declaring an emergency and proceeded to give priority clearance for a landing at Sydney,†the spokesman told AAP.
The plane dumped fuel and safely made an emergency landing around 3pm and there were no injuries. The cause of the emergency is unknown and there are no delays at the airport.
He said details of the nature of the emergency were not yet available.
He said the flight landed safely at about 3pm (AEST) and passengers and crew were ‘fine’, but was unable confirm the type of aircraft or whether the passengers had disembarked.
‘It was a Qantas flight, but I’m not sure if it was a 747,’ he said.
