A Qantas plane carrying 11 people made a forced landing at Sydney Airport today after a suspected fire in an engine.
The Qantas Link flight QF 2042 from Sydney to Dubbo returned to Sydney soon after take-off at 11.30am (AEDT).
No-one was injured and the plane landed safely, police said.
A Qantas spokesman said the pilot of the Dash 8 Turbo aircraft was advised by air traffic control to return to Sydney after smoke was seen coming from one engine.
A replacement aircraft, with all passengers on board left Sydney at 12.30pm, the spokesman said.
