Flight QF643 took off from Sydney at around 8:45am aboard the 13-year-old 737-800 VH-VZV, but landed again after circling the airport. The aircraft was able to land safely and taxi back to the gate, with no smoke having entered the cabin.
The Queensland grants come after the federal government has so far poured more than $17 million into regional airports across NSW, Victoria and Western Australia, also as part of the fourth round of the Regional Airports Program.
Over 250 crew members, including pilots, cabin crew, operational staff, and engineers, will work on the regional, domestic and international Qantas and Jetstar services across Australia, New Zealand and Asia, with the first, a Jetstar Adelaide–Sydney service, taking off on Monday morning.
The agreement will ensure the NSW Rural Fire Service can continue to support aerial firefighting operations and protect local communities and the environment through aerial firefighting operations facilitated from three Defence bases.
The sustainment contract will create over 75 new jobs in Nowra at Sikorsky Australia’s maintenance and logistics support facility, building on its existing workforce of 200.
The regional Queensland airline, which was last year purchased by global aviation firm Avia Solutions Group, received its first A319, registered VH-L7A, in mid-December. Its second – to be registered VH-L7C – arrived at the end of last month.
