Plane Carrying Over 20 People Forced to Make Emergency Landing in Australia

A passenger plane had to make an emergency landing at Dubbo City Regional Airport in Australia’s New South Wales with over two dozen people on board, media report.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The emergency landing was carried out after the pilot was forced to shut the aircraft’s engine down as a warning light came on, ABC News said, specifying that there were a total of 26 people on board the plane.

All passengers and crew of the Rex Airlines flight 81, headed from Dubbo to Sydney, were safe after the emergency landing.
