A Qantas jet with nearly 200 passengers was forced to make an emergency landing at Sydney’s international airport after its landing gear failed to retract after take-off.
An airline statement today said the Airbus 330 jet bound for Shanghai was forced to circle over Sydney for more than two hours and burn off fuel before safely making an emergency landing.

In 2008 Australia’s aviation safety agency ordered Qantas to improve its maintenance system following a review prompted by a series of safety problems, including an oxygen tank explosion on a Boeing 747-400 that ripped a hole in the jet’s fuselage, forcing it to make an emergency landing in the Philippines. No one was injured.
