Qantas 747 in mid-air scare

  • 6/6/2011

A Qantas 747-400 bound for Brisbane, Australia with 360 passengers on board was forced to return to Singapore after its landing gear would not retract.

Flight QF52 left Changi Airport around 11:00pm but pilots were unable to retract the landing gear. The 747 made a safe landing about one hour after departing. 

Passengers were provided overnight accommodation while engineers replaced the part that led to the failure.
