An Air Canada Aircraft on its way from Sydney, Australia to Vancouver and Toronto had to interrupt its flight and dump its fuel over Hornsby, Sydney due to a fire on board that could not be contained immediately. The fire seems to be in the galley area. The plane is a Boeing 777-200LR. Air Canda lists the plane as “delayed.”
The newspaper Daily Telegraph (AU) announces that the flight returned to the airport safely.
The plane landed shortly after 12.10pm on Thursday, a spokesman the Australian Transport Safety Bureau said.
“Air Canada reported smoke in the cabin and conducted a fuel dump,” the ATSB spokesman told AAP.
He said the incident would be investigated further.
