An Emirates flight with 120 passengers on board was forced to return to Perth International Airport today after the crew called an in-flight emergency to air traffic control.
That can't be economically viable!

What's the problem? Surely it's better if the smoke escapes the cabin than hangs around to be a nuisance!;)

:D

Thats a good point Marty, but even then they have to be struggling.

It's a A340-500.

Saw a glimpse of it on the news and it looked like -ERB.

A6-ERB, on the news footage tonight there was some smoke coming from the fwd cargo hold.
