Another Qantas plane has been turned back mid-flight, with a passenger service to Perth forced to return to Adelaide because of a paperwork issue yesterday.
The aircraft was 45 minutes into its journey and nearing the WA border when the issue was raised.
It comes after mechanical issues forced several other Qantas flights to turn back over the past week.
Yet another incident just happened
Certainly is not a Boeing or a 737 problem. This is squarely on maintenance issues not being addressed from prior flights or just plan lack of timely maintenance. Qantas airlines seems to have major issues needing addressed. Thought this airline was a great one until reading all the negative posts lately.
It’s a miracle they were even ranked No.1 for safest airline this year based on this even though to date they’ve been lucky to not lose an aircraft in the jet era
@Robert Lee Boeing didn't nose dive two MAX into the ocean. A couple of airlines that had been putting untrained pilots behind the yokes did.
@@petep.2092 that's not true. The pilots were very qualified, and it was Boeings fault. They didn't let anyone know about the MCAS system, which meant they had 10 seconds to react to a system THEY HADNT BEEN TAUGHT. Because Boeing didn't want to spend money on training pilots
@@robertlee6338 here's a difference between the MAX crashes and these incidents. When it come as to the MAX, we know that it wasn't the airlines' fault because those 2 crashes happened on different airlines. But with these, it's all the same airline, other airlines have not had this streak
@@YourLocalAviator
Got a question.
You have 10 seconds at 14,000
20,000
40,000
100,000 feet.
Where does that 10 second rule come from hot shot?
Didn’t Qantas management sack a lot of engineering and maintenance staff during COVID, 2020-2021?
I wonder if in the past, pre COVID, if the the non-declared emergency flights would have continued to their destination?
Seriously, Qantas have had trouble with baggage handling, so one cannot expect much of Qantas atm.
I must add, I had 2 domestic Qantas flights recently and everything went smoothly.
I think they outsourced some key services, but I hope it's an anomaly and not a sign of poor maintenance practices by an outsourced supplier. I'm sure the Australian press will dig and dig to find out.
and alan joyce ias hiring through third parties to avoid all the blame. Its like all they want is money
@@steinbockguy Qantas Sydney to Auckland, Qantas Singapore to London and Adelaide to Perth as well as Jetstar Melbourne to Bali. Oh my god, Qantas, do something.
My guess is that Qantas’s intention to retire 737s has been public for a year, so Qantas has been intentionally putting 737 maintainence in the back burner to expedite retirement. The lack of maintainence will call for more incidents, and more incidents equals more justification to retire them.
Sadly they just got their 5th turn around and incident recently but from my understanding it's a330 this time, so now that event became 5th within 6 days
6th in 7 days thou this time it was just missing paperwork
And Qantas is the world's safest airline according to Scamtrax!
no a great start to 2023
Not even just Scamtrax, Australian website Airline Ratings (usually reliable) has also ranked them No.1 this year
They should be a awful rating
What's the long term incident rate? It might as well be a statistical anomaly.
You want to risk it?
@@markofsatan9617 If I could afford to travel I would have no qualms of boarding a Qantas flight.
@@roykliffen9674 They have never had any serious issue so that's good.
Elal has problems with the 737 too. 3 flights got canceled in the last week. Check it out
Too slow.... Another one this afternoon (24th Jan)! 15:35 ADL-PER 737 turned back just before the WA border... wrong paperwork filed for the flight. Returned to ADL.
This isn’t ‘4 incidents in 5 days’, it’s 1 out of the ordinary incident and then all these other incidents aren’t a major or even minor concern because they happen every day. The media are reporting them, which makes the public think all Qantas planes are going to fall out of the sky. Qantas are a VERY safe airline, has there been any deaths? No. Has there been any injuries? No. Every Qantas plane in these ‘incidents’ has landed safely, someone please explain how this is unsafe. Another side of safety is the pilots, they have safely landed every plane without any problems and have stayed highly professional, I was listening to liveATC as QF144 was landing and the professionalism completely astounded me. Their voices remained calm for the whole time and at the end of it, they took the time to greet all passengers at the gate in Sydney.
No matter your opinion on this topic, we can all agree that Qantas pilots are one of, if not, the most professional and skilled pilots in the world.
This stuff happens daily on all different types of aircraft.
I'll tell you what I think... I think my father was a heavy engineer for Qantas for 35 years before the little irish freak decided to send maintenance off shore and make him redundant along with many others... all for the sake of share holders For 35 years his workmanship along with the team around him got you and your family to yout destination safely, and when these same people say they would no longer board a Qantas plane on fears of safety and maintenance short comings and procedures not being followed.... that says something.
3:09 What a load! It's not uncommon to have a problem with an aircraft. But it is uncommon for them to require a diversion. Most problems are found during routine inspections. And most of those inspections are during routine maintenance visits.
This has to do with maintenance with the airline. These are NG 737. Not MAX. NG is the safest narrow body plane in the sky. Funny how people really think that Airbus is much safer with having just as many problems.
Nobody mentionned Airbus, Boeingman.
@@jungbolosse3034 Previous comments had so your incorrect. Maybe read them
@@jungbolosse3034 Not just that but to get that out there before airbus lovers instantly start attacking boeing.
@@matth9254 Silly Boring fanboy, you just confirmed by the words "before airbus lovers start attacking Boeing" because precisely noone did and you were the first to mention Airbus.
@@matth9254 Nope you made that up, just like you first mentionned Airbus. Liar liar pants on fire.
Another incident; a QantasLink Q400 turned back due to a landing gear issue
As a EX QANTAS MAINTENANCE ENGINEER for over 2 DECADES,If you skimp on taking the best care of your fleet just to save on operational costs..AND HUGELY RISK SAFETY..what do you expect?..I have a conscience and I'm concerned for passenger well being that's why I don't work for this company anymore..nor do I fly Qantas as I value my life..Ansett and TAA where the TRUE Airline companies for Australia that put SAFETY FIRST above all..I should know as I worked for both.
Gotta maintain your planes...
Negligence played a part in it. Proves that there are people in the industry not doing their jobs as per manufacture requirements.
Great. Flying them early Feb to New Caledonia. Postponed trip from last year.
Um, "it's OK, planes are designed with redundancy" isn't exactly the most comforting thing the Quantas exec could have said. Gives the appearance that they're comfortable with failures of this nature and frequency occurring.
and don't forget about the Qantas a380 incident last month and the Jetstar 787 to bali.
1:48 Whats that flight path? Did the Pilot get lost?
Don’t you get it? It was doing holding patterns to burn fuel as it was above the safe maximum landing rate as it just took off. It is a safety precaution. I don’t think any pilot that flies a 737 would get lost. It’s not like a 15 year old doing there first solo. They have years of extensive training
most of these are only news because of the mayday, every week many flights are returned across the country for mechanical issues.
Yo! Maintenance!
Qantas ✨
Fire the Maintenance Supervisor
There now up to 5!
Seems like a Quantas issue and not a 737 issue. Airline used to be one of the best and is now going downhill
This airline is going to the dogs time for a change of leadership and focus.
This is the new qantas all on profit for shareholders , forget being a national carrier
Work at the airport for a week and you'll find all airlines have the same issues. Nothing new here.
Industrial campaign comes to mind.
b737 is old. This is also reason that Qantas order a321xlr, abandoning the b737 in the near future, and favour a320. The b737 is really time to retire now.
…. Maintenance
Something tells me that Qantas maintenance requires close scrutiny. Just too many mechanical failures in too short a time- Sorry!
"Millions of moving parts"? He probably referred to the whole aircraft moving relatively to Earth, otherwise, this maintenance person does not know s%%t about maintenance.
A 737 doesn't have "millions of moving parts"...
Have also been multiple other aircraft from other airlines turned around, however they have not been reported in the media. Not that big of a deal lmao
Agreed. These sorts of aircraft returns are common. This is only getting reported *because* it is Qantas.
There have been cases where a Qantas flight returns and it is widely reported in the media, then the next day the exact same thing happens to a Virgin flight and nothing gets said in the press.
Quantis wants to go to 1 pilot Hmmmmm
To me, these are mostly maintenance issues. Do the math. Don’t here anything on united or American 737s
You all do realize - all 4 flights landed safely. But let's all cancel Qantas based on 4 flights - out of how many in a year? Smh
Yup, all these experts… who got their aeronautical engineering degree by reading about it on the back of a matchbox.
@@petep.2092 We also see the great Aussie sport of "Jumping to conclusions" in full swing here too. So many people are posting and forming unfounded assumptions that all these events are caused by poor maintenance. The root causes of any of these events have NOT been determined yet. No doubt they will be in time with the formal CASA reports but for now we still have no idea what the issues were and what caused them.
I hope the Ryanair fleet are OK.
Qantas has not been having a great 2023
Has Quantas outsourced it's maintenance ?
hi
Quantas needs to maintain their fleet properly. I cannot be a coincidence that most or all of their aircraft having some sort of incidents one after the other. This goes to show that their maintenance protocols are being upheld and that no checks and balances are being conducted etc.
Most or all of their aircraft?! You are either grossly ignorant of Qantas' fleet size or you're one of those people with nothing useful to contribute to humanity than to create fake news.
CASA need to ground all Qantas 737s.
Qantas should just ground all 737-800s
AMS ( After Market Services)could be done more effectively...
U reckon the 737-800 are getting old and thats why they are falling apart
A lot are 15-14 years old
@@IconOTS Dam thats average age but i mean they did take over the 737-400
No comments
If its boeing im not going
I m not sure how they have allowed 737 to 🕊️.. business as usual now.. no value for life or safety
Irrespective of who’s to blame for these airborne incidents and whether or not the Boeing or quantas techs are to blame it doesn’t exactly paint Boeing or quantas in a very good light
Wow
a repeat of august 2022!
The b737 in all variants are classed and b737bare the world's most dangerous aircraft in the world
Can you please share the link to the official report that supports your statement? Or are you just spewing out nonsense because you are an Airbus fanboy?
@@explorenaked neither its true b737 is the world's most dangerous aircraft in the world look at the news si many accidents abd delays people at Boeing don't know what they are doing
Indeed, if you have critical information regarding the 737 and it being dangerous aircraft, it is your duty to provide said information.😊
Bruh boeing be like 💀
It's not a manufacturing issue.
No other airline suffers issues this frequent
Yes it did lol
Boeing doesn’t make engines
I was gonna book Qantas, now gonna go with British airways instead
But you're having problems with several aircraft, not one. Points more to skipped maintenance. Take care of the complex machinery and stop putting souls at risk to make a quick buck.
You don't have the faintest idea as to exactly what happened on each of those flights, but you KNOW they point to skipped maintenance?! And you know the person who put souls at risk?
The lesson is, don’t take Qantas 737 in or out of Sydney 👀
the worst part is for smaller cities there is no other option.I remembered the days of the old QF81 having 767's or till it was dropped a330's Sydney-Adelaide and the QF82 or sometimes it was QF43 or QF115(that formed the basis of a flight beyond Sydney that continued onwards on a Jumbo)Adelaide-Sydney.I remembered years ago during the Pilots Dispute of 1989 when QF Domestic was Australian Airlines going on an Actual Qantas service(International on a domestic sector)which was a 767 and it was way better and more reliable.I do wish they had more a330'S under the circumstances or extra 787's.
A lot of immigrant workers have made their way into the maintenance work force.
And…?
... does not BODE WELL 4 BOEING 737s !
🤨😐☹
Considering it’s only one airline having the issues maybe it doesn’t bode well for Qantas maintenance program!
Consider also that these are 737-800s (not the newer Max). This model has been in service for around two decades now and has been built in the thousands. It has served with a great number of airlines and has an excellent safety record. It would seem the issue is likely airline related, as stated in the video.
Get an education in aero engineering, or in ANYthing… hopefully that'll keep you busy and unable to make daft comments online.
@@petep.2092 understood Bub, ... hope w/BOEING you did learn yer le$$0n$ !

"ANY NEWS IS GOOD NEWS !"

@@Comments_Are_Disabled I did consider that as well! But it’s such a good suggestion maybe I will consider it a 2nd time! Thank you!
The common link of all these incidents is QANTA
Boeing 737 again there rep is not great , Airbus for me if I have the option when booking
They also had an emergency A380 landing in Baku, the first time a Qantas plane has ever been to Azerbaijan. So it's not just their Boeing planes that are dodgy.
This has to do with maintenance with the airline. These are NG 737. Not MAX. NG is the safest narrow body plane in the sky. Not to mention the design of the Airbus cockpit (yoke less and the other can cancel you out) has caused many crashes including the first a320 passenger flight, AF 447, and the most recent with an a320 nearly stalling.
@@Dave_Sisson 20% Airbus 80% Boeing , take my chances
@@matth9254 this is definitely completely on Qantas airlines rather then Boeing. Like you said, the 37’s have an excellent track record but if not maintained then any manufacturer aircraft will have inflight concerns. So I completely agree with you.
The anti-Boeing haters are always going to blame the manufacturer verses the real issues being the airline.
@@Dave_Sisson You conveniently omit to say it was for a MEDICAL emergency, silly Boeing fanboy
If it's not boeing, I'm not going ❤️
Don't worry. Soon, they'll have a former KLM 737-700 (formerly registered as PH-BGT). Now named "Little Beach"🤣.
Qantas needs to increase its aircraft maintenance quickly. If they have any serious incident with one of there aircraft especially if a passenger dies. Qantas will go broke as just about everyone will fly on other airlines. They are taking a big gamble if there has been any reduction in maintenance on there aircraft. Really Qantas needs new management ASAP one that actually cares about staff and customers.
Whatever Qantas quality might be, kudos to the flight crew who did the right thing and called out a priority landing. It would be worse if they were ordered not to declare an issue. 🫣
I was flying on a qantas flight from Melbourne to Brisbane on QF608 on Monday, and there was a problem with the engine during pushback so we had to go back to the gate. Ended up waiting two hours while engineers fixed a pneumatic air valve in the engine.
Same happened to me bne to yssy
I was on the SYDNEY to FIJI flight we where stuck in the air the captain assured us it was okay and safe we flown for at least 2 hours at they end they gave up free gift cards worth 30 dollars AUD
This definitely leaves questions to be asked of maintenance practices at Quantas and also cost cutting measures and cuts to staffing levels. At the minute I'd personally feel safer flying with Suzie Air😂😂😂😂
This is happening a lot here in Brazil as well with gol airlines
Unbelievable! Correct me if I'm wrong but, wasn't this company once called the safest airline in the world after several decades no issues to speak of??? Anyone know whats going on here? Is just money and shareholder value to too. Seems like needless nuisance for the most part for aircraft that are far more reliable than this. Any insight??? What did I miss???
The sedative shot.
Is QF domestic CEO Andrew David American by any chance? There are not "millions of moving parts" in an aircraft.
A Boeing 737 consist of approx 367,000 parts *in total* (plus bolts and rivets) and the vast majority are absolutely stationary. If the CEO is so unfamiliar with aircraft, perhaps he is not the right person for the job. It's quite evident that the problem is with Qantas and not their aircraft.
another one today f100 at perth!
Amazing how all 5 incidences happened to just one airline. I would avoid Qantas and not the Boeing 737.
… because absolutely nothing happened at other airlines.
Virgin Australia is safer than qantas
Ok it's not just the 737-800s now! A fokker 100 going from perth to Kalgoorlie had to turn back to perth due to mechanical issues, this is terrible for a flagship airline. I have never heard of so many maintenance issues with Qantas in my life.
Was bounced from a 717 flight last week that had a flight control computer failure…
COVID and pilot shortage means many jets were stored for years. And something break while in storage
I think if may as well just be bad luck
Could have also happened to lufthansa or delta and the likes
Wondering if they getting a discount on their a350’s with this “headline”
And another one this morning 25/1. off to a flyer, QF.
In Australia it's all good!
Top notch maintenance by Qantas lately. Lol.
Fly on one of these carriers Singapore Airlines or Emirates. Problemo Solvedo😉
Qantas got something with their maintenance.
Wow all this during lunar new year
Rain man:
"Qantas has never crashed."
Today:
Let's hope that trend continues. :)
The last comment sounds like: ‚the plane is built to warn us with these faults that it needs repairs‘ which would be stupidly dangerous
Huh?! What would be stupidly dangerous? Getting a fault indication ? Or doing the repairs?
This is an airline I would not use my own money to fly. Flew 4 times, SG to Brisbane & Back then much later Perth to Newman internal & back. It was the international flights where it seemed the staff thought they were better than the passengers, got only 1 small bottle of red wine & requests for more were ignored. I was a frequent flyer at that time doing worldwide field service so I know how to behave on a flight but qantas staff are just plain ignorant. plus they are expensive.
agree on the international comment... have flown to Manila from Sydney a couple of times... the staff were old, rude, entitled and not helpful at all... one small bottle of red wine with dinner and made us feel bad for asking for another one! Anyway we are flying Singapore Airlines to Europe and back in June in Business class!!!! Can't wait!!
@@peterstewart1745 Singapore can be nanny but as long as you're well behaved the alcohol service isn't a problem when you're up the front. happy hols!
Boeing is Boeing's biggest hater
I love Airbus but this has nothing to do with Boeing, it's more to do with poor maintenance.
I think Qantas needs to retire its 737 fleet
I think Qantas should review the MRO procedures . No other airline is reporting such issues with their 737s
Yes they have announced purchase of new aircraft but it does seem these are needed sooner then expected They are buying Airbus rather than Boeing
@@gordonc2792 qantas has 75 737s but only has 20 firm orders for the a321.
Still a chance for a 738 MAX order from qantas
@@mmm0404 Hmm. I think they should. Because my home airlines is using 737 for a long long time. They haven't reported any issues
@@mmm0404 Qantas Group has over 100 A320 family aircraft on order, with another 100 options and rights. These are a mix of A320neo, A321 and A321XLR. It isn't yet known which aircraft will go to Qantas and which will go to Jetstar.
Qantas may have 75 737s in the fleet, but they aren't all the same age. The oldest 20 or so, which arrived in 2002-2003 are reaching retirement age. The newest batch of 737s arrived in 2018.
Qantas B737 have an average age of 14 years but I would imagine the cycles would be low but the hours would be high so schedule maintenance would require a balance of the two. Qantas had a very good maintenance reputation when I was working now retired. getting operations to release a aircraft to engineering has always taken a lot of diplomacy.
So much for making QF the safest airline. Air NZ all the way
They're not linked so who cares
Airbus took some good hits last week dual engine shutdowns one on a landing and one on a take off
