An Australian airline Qantas plane, bound for Sydney, was forced to return to Melbourne ten minutes after takeoff, recording the third problem with a company aircraft in flight in three days.
The flight QF430 descolou at 09:40 local time (22:40 of Quinta-feira in Lisbon), from the international airport of Tullamarine, in Melbourne, where you have to return about ten minutes after, second to the page of Flight Radar, which monitors you in real time of all the world.
The Boeing 737 made the return flight as a “precautionary measure” after the pilots were alerted to a “minor” engine problem, according to a Qantas statement, picked up by the Australian Associated Press news agency.
“The plane landed normally, it was not an emergency or priority landing. Both engines remained operational throughout the flight,” he added.
This is the third incident involving an Australian airline plane in the past three days.
On Thursday, a Boeing 738 connecting Sydney to Fiji had to return to the Australian city due to a “potential mechanical problem”. A day earlier, another plane, a Boeing 737-838, connecting Auckland, New Zealand and Sydney, issued an emergency signal mid-flight.
