Business as usual: Changi Airport operations unaffected by Qantas plane distress

An updated statement from CAG said Runway 2, which has remained closed since the landing, will reopen later today while flights have continued to take off and land at Runway 1.

The airport operator issued its statement at 2:24 pm.

An A380 Qantas flight, QF 32, bound for Sydney, Australia, departed Singapore Changi Airport at 9:56 am today. For technical reasons, the aircraft turned back to Changi and landed safely at 11:45 am.

CAG’s statement read: “Changi Airport Group's Airport Emergency Service (AES) responded with six fire vehicles, in accordance with standard operating procedure for such incidents. In response to the pilot's request, checks were conducted on the aircraft by AES. Once the checks were completed, passengers and crew began disembarking from the aircraft at Runway 2. Buses were arranged to ferry them to the airport terminal. Disembarkation of all 469 passengers and crew on board was completed by 1340 hours… Operations at Changi Airport have, otherwise, not been affected.”
