More of that brilliant QANTAS maintenance?
A QANTAS jet carrying nearly 200 passengers has made an emergency landing at Sydney Airport after its landing gear failed to retract following takeoff.
The Airbus 330 jet bound for Shanghai departed about noon (AEDT) today from Sydney and was unable to retract its landing gear, a Qantas spokesman said.
The plane, carrying 197 passengers and crew, was forced to circle over Sydney for more than two hours and burn off fuel before landing safely at about 2.45pm (AEDT).
Qantas said the plane did not dump any fuel but circled in order not to exceed the maximum landing weight.
