There has been an emergency at Adelaide Airport as a Singapore Airlines flight was forced to make a second landing attempt on a wet runway.
Airport management said there were safety concerns because another plane was still leaving the main runway.
But an airline official said the pilot chose to go around because heavy rain in Adelaide had reduced visibility.
There were 265 people on board.
They finally got into the terminal at about 8:30am ACST.
