Second Qantas jet makes emergency landing

A QANTAS jet was forced to make an emergency landing at Adelaide airport yesterday after a door opened during a flight to Melbourne.

The Herald Sun newspaper quoted unnamed passengers as saying a door opened causing “chaos” in the cabin of the Boeing 737-800, which left Adelaide at 6.08pm (08.08 GMT) and returned safely 37 minutes later.

However, airline sources said only the door covering the wheel bay was not closed properly after take-off, the Herald Sun said.
