Engine failure forces China flight to land: by Sharnie Kim
Engine failure forced an international flight to make an emergency landing at Cairns in far north Queensland overnight. The China Airlines flight from Sydney to Taipei encountered engine problems over Cape York and was diverted to Cairns. Police and fire crews were on standby but the Airbus A330 landed safely just after 3:00am (AEST). It is believed only one engine was working when the plane landed. The airline says the 218 passengers are still at the Cairns airport. It is trying to make travel arrangements with other carriers including Qantas, Jetstar and Cathay Pacific. China Airlines says it is investigating the incident.
