A Qantas flight had to divert mid-journey due to a mechanical problem.
The plane had left Perth and was heading to the mining town of Paraburdoo when it had to make a priority landing at Geraldton on Monday.
“Our Perth to Paraburdoo service was diverted to Geraldton on Monday evening following a mechanical issue,” a Qantas spokesperson said.
“The flight landed safely and today we will have passengers on other flights heading to Paraburdoo.
‘We recognize that this would have been a distressing experience for our customers and would like to thank them for their patience and understanding.’
Emergency services waited for the plane on the tarmac as a precaution.
