Qantas plane forced back to Sydney
A Qantas airliner has suffered a mid-air engine problem forcing it to double back to Sydney airport.
The troubled Boeing 747 plane, loaded with passengers, is yet to reach the airport but a company spokesman has denied it needs to make an emergency landing.
“It is not an emergency landing, but it will be returning to Sydney,” the spokesman said.
He also denied reports that an engine on the plane had exploded mid-air.
“No it hasn’t exploded at all, so there is an issue with the engine but it hasn’t exploded,” the spokesman said.
At 12.35pm (AEDT) the plane had not yet landed.
There are also reports the plane was dumping fuel over the Sydney suburb of Frenchs Forest.
