Changi Airport, Qantas deny Aussie plane crash

In a statement, CAG said that QF 32, an A380 aircraft from the Australian carrier, turned back to Changi for technical reasons.

The Sydney-bound plane departed the airport at 09:56 am today and landed safely at 11:45 am.

It has been widely reported earlier across various news agencies that the plane crashed. Qantas said there is no truth to the rumor.

In its official statement, Qantas said, "a Qantas A380 aircraft operating QF32 from Singapore to Sydney experienced an engine issue soon after take off and returned to Singapore. The aircraft had 433 passengers and 26 crew on board.

In line with procedure, the pilot sought priority clearance for its return to Singapore. The aircraft landed safely at 11.45am local time. Some media reports suggested the aircraft had crashed. These reports are incorrect. No Qantas aircraft has crashed. Further details will be released once they are available."
