Over the space of a week, several Qantas flights have been turned back and one mayday call has been issued, but the airline says there are 'absolutely no issues'.
Qantas executive Andrew David says the incidents were all separate issues and are being investigated.After a mayday call and a series of flight turnbacks in the space of a week, Qantas is reassuring customers there are "absolutely no issues" with safety.
A mayday call is issued when a flight is in grave and imminent danger and needs immediate assistance, according to Airservices Australia, the federal agency responsible for ensuring safe air travel. "These are the emergency notifications that pilots use when there's a problem. There’s lots of passengers’ lives at stake, so pilots take these calls very seriously, and I think the pilots did a great job."Nik’s flight made an emergency landing in Azerbaijan. Now he’s unsure if he’ll be fully compensated
"They were all completely different issues ... I'd be more worried about the airlines that don't turn back than the airlines that do in those situations."
