A British Airways flight was forced to make an emergency return to Sydney Airport after May from his pilot.
The BA16 flight from Sydney to Singapore after “reports of a technical issue” turned to turn on Monday (September 8).
According to FlightAweare data, the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft returned to his departure airport more than an hour.
The voice of the pilot’s May call said, “Mayday Speedbird 16 … Only about establishing in the (band) 34 liters, we have to stop at the airport runway for at least one minute.”
A “May” call is a distress signal for an emergency threatening life in aviation.
The airline said pilots were selected as “caution” to return to Sydney.
A passenger told Australia 7news “We have to rotate because they smell fuel in the cabin,” the pilot said.
The flight was off Sydney from Sydney at 2.40 pm and landed at Australia Airport shortly before 4pm.
Emergency respondents, including firefighting services, met as part of the “standard” response methods to the British Airways flight at the runway.
Sydney Airport spokesman said All the passengers were safely off the plane and had no effect on the public operation of the airport.
“The plane returned to Sydney as caution,” said a spokesman for the British Airways.
“Flying safely with crews and customers normally leaves and our teams are working hard to get their trips back on their way as soon as possible.”
Passengers were reserved to replace Sydney’s alternative flights today to continue their eight -and -a -half -hour trip to Singapore.
This is not the first aircraft to make a no -plan landing this summer.
In August, an American airline flight diverted after the passenger was caught.
The flight of 357 US Airlines from Philadelphia to Phoenix was forced to divert to Washington International Airport “following reports of customer’s smoke.”
FAA added: “The aircraft landed safely in Dulles at noon. Emergency personnel visited the plane and helped 160 passengers and six crew members.
