The Fokker 100 aircraft left Perth at about 3:50pm and was in the air for about 50 minutes before it landed safely back at Perth Airport.Flight QF1608 was forced to circle over Perth and parts of the Wheatbelt.It follows an incident earlier this month that saw a Qantas pilot on a Boeing 737 issue a mayday call on a flight bound for Sydney when one of its engines failed.
Yesterday, a Qantas flight from Adelaide to Perth was forced to turn around mid-air due to incomplete paperwork. And last Thursday, another Qantas Boeing 747 bound for Fiji turned back to Sydney after it experienced a potential mechanical issue.
Flew Over Kimberlies
Sack their BOSS !!! He is dangerous cutting costs all the time before to late. 👎👹👿☠☠☠
Qantas looking to feature in every episode of season 24 of Air Crash Investigation?
would have thought the CEO and board of directors would be concerned. sounds like something wrong in the engineering/maintenance process... too many issues over a short time
Qantas should just give all their planes to John Travolta and close their doors
That little Irish c**t is going to get people killed soon enough. Then his goal of ruining Qantas' reputation forever will be complete.
Grounded kangaroo strikes again
Sabotage?
At this point, why would anyone risk flying Qantas? And I say that as a platinum frequent flyer. No amount of lounge luxury is worth my life.
ehhh... is JetStar still alright?
Why sudden problems with all Qantas flights?
And all on board exclaimed 'Oh Fokker'.
At least their not falling out of the sky.
At this rate not even Rain Man will get on a Qantas flight.
Dies the fed government still have any interest in this major catastrophe of an airline. And if so, can they put any pressure on the company.....or even mandatory take over control on safety grounds
Not surprising when they sacked so many good smart staff just because the followed science and data and not the lies from media and governments that a jab would stop the spread.
First came “turn back the boats”, then…
So worrying if your luggage will arrive seems less important.
Qantas you have a problem
Alan Joyce deserves another bonus. 🙃 Qantas

Initial investigations suggest the fumes are related to an oven on the aircraft with engineers to now assess the aircraft in Nadi after it landed safely last night. Passengers have been accommodated by Qantas ahead of their new flight. Jeez, how many mechanical emergencies does it take before Qantas sack Alan Jones Jones has stripped the company of it's domestic maintenance engineering crew and this is what you get. DISGRACEFUL. Another Qantas disaster. Someone will have to die or an aviation disaster before AustralianLabor will step in...then say 'this must never happen again' More out sourcing should fix this problem

Qantas defends recent string of mechanical issuesQantas has defended its recent spate of mechanical issues after it recorded another flight turnaround on Sunday - its fifth incident in a week. Qantas Pilots have displayed courage and professionalism. It’s the CEO that needs to take responsibility and leave the company. 👇 Defended Qantas Really? You seriously want to defend 5 incidents in 10 days .. Pretty sure other airlines defended there poor safety standards before a major incident.. I wouldn't fly with an airline that tries to justify & defend that many incidents in a very short time..

Qantas flight turns around above Nullarbor because of incomplete paperworkA Qantas flight from Adelaide to Perth is forced to turn around mid-air, delaying passengers by four hours, in the latest of a series of problems for the airline. Well done Alan Joyce! Lately it seems all Qantas flight do these days is turn back around. Sounds like they need to rehire all those ' too old and experienced' mechanics. They need to preserve atleast 5% of there reputation. They use to be the best in nation but not anymore. qantas zero customer service, keeping customers money for cancelled flights and can’t even fly properly anymore! Incompetent across the board!!
