The Straits Times
|October 30, 2025
A Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight bound for the Republic from Melbourne returned to Melbourne Airport on Oct 29 after the aircraft experienced a technical issue while in the air.
In a media reply, the national carrier said Flight SQ228 returned to the Australian airport shortly after takeoff, and that it had dumped fuel to land within the landing weight.
The airline did not provide details of the issue faced on board.
The Boeing 777, carrying 219 passengers and 17 crew members, landed uneventfully at 5.47pm local time (2.47pm in Singapore) on Oct 29, said SIA. The flight had departed at 4.35pm local time.
All passengers and crew disembarked normally, it added. The passengers were provided with meal vouchers.
The airline’s ground engineering team is trying to resolve the issue, said SIA.
