QF1935 Returns To Darwin - Hydraulic Fault
The Australian ...
Quote:
QANTAS flight en route to Alice Springs with 115 passengers is returning to Darwin after a fault was discovered.
The pilot of flight QF1935 that left Darwin at 7.25am (CST) today decided to return as a safety measure, a Qantas spokeswoman said.
She said that while en route to Alice Springs the pilot realised there was a gear indication fault.
"It is a hydraulic fault and it is returning to Darwin," she said.
"There is no safety risk whatsoever ... it is a mechanical issue," she said.
Recently Qantas has announced a cut in flight numbers because union action was causing a backlog in maintenance of its fleet.
The airline said the current problem with its plane was unrelated to the industrial action.
