A Malaysia Airlines passenger flight made an emergency landing in Melbourne on Friday due to an engine problem, Australian authorities said.
Flight MH148 departed Melbourne Airport at 2:16 pm (0416 GMT) to head towards the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur but had to perform an emergency landing, the airport's spokeswoman told AFP.
"The plane landed safely a couple of minutes before 3 pm Australian time this afternoon" she said.
Airservices Australia said the plane had reported an 'engine problem'.
"We provide air traffic control and aviation rescue firefighting services for Melbourne Airport, so basically the plane reported an engine problem, dumped their fuel and returned to land," an Airservices Australia spokeswoman told AFP.
Malaysia Airlines has been contacted for comment.
