Qantas A380 flight emergency lands in Baku
A Qantas representative confirmed on Friday afternoon that the plane landed safely in Baku but did not detail the malfunction.
Flight tracking agencies on social media reported the A-380 completing a 180-degree spin near Tbilisi, Georgia, squawking 7700 (marking an emergency situation), and landing at Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku on Friday.
Qantas Flight QF01 was diverted due to a faulty indicator and safely landed at Baku Airport. As planned, the flight from Singapore to London. After the crew saw an intermittent trouble indicator in the cockpit, a Qantas flight from Singapore to London was forced to stop in Azerbaijan.
