A flight attendant smells a strange smell on a plane, the pilot immediately makes an emergency landing

A flight attendant was taken to hospital after the plane made an emergency landing. It all started when the flight attendant smelled a strange smell on the plane.

Reported daily mail, Thursday (3/10/2024) this unusual smell occurred on a Qantas plane flying from Sydney to New Zealand on Wednesday at 18.40 local time. After an hour of flight, the plane turned around and made an emergency landing in Sydney.

The Boeing 737 was seen landing at Sydney Airport around 21.30 and immediately taxied to the airport. There the plane was surrounded by several fire trucks and ambulances waiting on the scene.

Paramedics then took a cabin crew member to hospital as a precaution.

“The flight from Sydney to Wellington returned to Sydney following reports of a strange smell in the cabin,” a Qantas spokesman said. He also said it was not an emergency landing but a ‘landing with priority’.

“The plane landed safely and will be inspected by technicians before returning to service. Passengers will be accommodated and transferred to the next available flight,” the spokesman said.

“We are sorry for the disruption caused by their trip and we thank them for their understanding,” he concluded.
