A Malaysia Airlines passenger jet has made an emergency landing at Melbourne airport after a reported engine fire.
Flight 148, which had been travelling between Melbourne and Kuala Lumpur, landed without incident or injury, an airport spokeswoman told Reuters.
Anna Gillett, the airport’s spokeswoman, said: “The pilot called an emergency landing and as standard procedure when a pilot calls any sort of emergency landing, emergency personnel are currently on site.”
Gillett confirmed that the jet had dumped fuel and said that this was standard procedure before an emergency landing.
Malaysia airlines lost two passenger aeroplanes in separate disasters last year.
