BREAKING NEWS: A QANTAS flight from Singapore has touched down safely at Brisbane Airport - after its hydraulic steering system reportedly failed mid-flight.

Fire crews were on standby at the international terminal as Qantas flight QF42 landed around 10.00am.

Emergency services had received reports that the aircraft's hydraulic steering system - used to control the plane once it touches down - had failed.

But the plane - with an unknown number of passengers on-board - seemingly landed without incident.

Yes there were actually 2 Qantas emergencies at Brisbane today.

QF 168 from NRT,CNS had a possible oil leak and emergency vehicles were in attendance for that as well.This was a 767-300.

The other one was QF 52 not QF 42 a A330-300 .Both flights landed ok

I was actually referring to another incident which occurred at SFO. I don't imagine he wants it discussed here but you can probably guess who it was.
