A Qantas flight from Dubai to Sydney
was diverted to Perth for a "priority landing" after a technical
failure.
Passengers aboard the flight have reported a very
quick 10,000 meter descent to the safe flying level of 2,700 meters where the
Air Bus A380 landed safely shortly after, there are no reports of injury.
QANTAS said the landing was not classed as an
"emergency landing" but a "priority landing". All
passengers were provided accommodation and will be flown to Sydney.
A QANTAS spokesman told Triple M news: It's "standard procedure" for the plane to make a fast descent and the first officer on board was informing passengers of what was going on.
