Smoke pouring out of Qantas plane
A report in www.brisbanetimes.com.au over the weekend says that smoke could be seen coming from the landing gear of a Qantas 737 as it landed at Brisbane airport on Friday.
The flight from Townsville, carrying 129 passengers, landed about 7.40am and caused some concern when smoke could be seen.
Initial investigations suggest hydraulic fluid may have leaked onto the plane’s wheels and created smoke when the plane touched down, a Qantas spokesman said.
Passengers were kept on board for about 10 minutes while the plane waited on a taxiway to be towed to the terminal, a Brisbane Airport Corporation spokeswoman said.
However, the plane was eventually able to use its own power to move to the terminal. No one was injured in the incident.
The plane was scheduled to land at Brisbane and authorities did not consider the incident an emergency landing, she said.
However slight delays were caused to some departing flights Friday morning and engineers had begun inspecting the plane.
