News: London bound Qantas flight forced to turn back to Dubai

A Qantas flight that left Melbourne bound for London via Dubai was forced to return to Dubai today with engine problems, delaying travel plans for 347 passengers.

QF9 from Dubai to London turned around Friday morning because of a problem with one of the A380 aircraft’s four engines.

It landed in Dubai about 9am Melbourne time, 2am Dubai time.
A Qantas spokesman said engineers were tonight inspecting the engine to determine the cause of the problem.
A replacement aircraft had been organised so the passengers could be able to resume their flight departing for London again overnight, after about 13 hours of unscheduled stopover.
