Passengers aboard a Qantas flight from Brisbane to Adelaide were met with an unexpected turn of events as their journey was cut short due to a mechanical issue. The flight, known as QF1929, had departed from Brisbane at approximately 8:20am and was only about 40 minutes into the journey when the captain addressed the passengers, informing them of a problem with the brakes. One traveller, who spoke with Bill McDonald on 4BC today, shared their experience of the situation.
According to Qantas, there had been an issue with the landing gear brakes and as a result, the flight was redirected back to Brisbane, arriving shortly before 10am. In a statement to 9News.com.au, a spokesperson confirmed the incident, stating that the aircraft had landed safely and was now being inspected by engineers. The spokesperson also acknowledged the potential distress this may have caused for passengers and expressed gratitude for their cooperation with the crew's instructions.
The airline is currently working diligently to assist customers with their onward travels and will be following up with each individual to offer support. A video shared with 4BC captures the moments of panic as flight attendants urge passengers to remain in the brace position. It is clear from the footage that the crew did everything in their power to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone on board.
In the midst of this unfortunate situation, Qantas is reminding customers to stay informed by downloading the 9News app, available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. This will provide instant updates on breaking news, sports, politics, and weather, ensuring that passengers have access to the most up-to-date information at all times.
