third day in a row, two Qantas aircraft experience technical problems in flight"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Two flights of the Australian airline<strong> Qantas<\/strong>, which departed from Melbourne, had to return to the airport shortly after takeoff due to technical problems, making a total of four similar incidents in three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flight QF430, bound for Sydney, took off at 9:40 local time from Melbourne&#8217;s Tullamarine International Airport, where it had to return about 10 minutes after starting the journey, according to FlightRadar24, which monitors flights around the world in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a Qantas statement, published by local news agency AAP, the Boeing 737 returned to the departure airport as a &#8220;precautionary measure&#8221; after the pilots were alerted to a &#8220;minor&#8221; engine problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2022\/12\/qantas-inaugurates-new-direct-route-melbourne-dallas.html\">Qantas inaugurates new direct route between Melbourne and Dallas<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About half an hour later, flight QJE1516, bound from Melbourne to Canberra, also had to turn around &#8220;as a precaution&#8221; after a &#8220;flap problem&#8221; was detected, in this case a Boeing 717, reported EFE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the fourth incident involving an Australian airline plane in the last three days, after the pilots of a Boeing 737-800 bound from Auckland (New Zealand) to Sydney sent out a mid-flight emergency alert on Tuesday due to the failure of one of the engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That incident led to the deployment of emergency services as a precaution, although the aircraft landed without major complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A day later, another Boeing 737-800, flying from Sydney to Fiji, had to return to the city of origin amid a &#8220;fault indication of a potential mechanical problem,&#8221; a spokesman for Qantas, Australia&#8217;s largest airline, told state-run ABC television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo: Chris Finney\/<a
