Boeing 787-9 of United Airlines Emergency Landing at Sydney Airport
Boeing 787-9 of United Airlines Emergency Landing at Sydney Airport. The Sydney airport was closed and the nearby roads were closed after a United Airlines flight on Monday morning.
The Boeing 787-9 pilot, who was traveling from Los Angeles to Sydney, was concerned about fuel levels after air traffic control stopped the flight due to heavy rains, according to local press reports.
"It does not mean that he does not have more fuel and that he has to land immediately," the spokeswoman said.
"You still have a lot of fuel left."
The main roads around the airport closed at 6:30 am but were reopened shortly after.
News Corp reports that the road closures should allow the passage of emergency vehicles, which were waiting just in case.
But in the air, the 239 people aboard the flight did not know something was wrong.
A spokeswoman for the Sydney airport said previous reports of carbon dioxide leaks were false and that she simply reported on the presence of dry ice on board.
"Every plane says there's something dangerous on the plane and it's an airplane that has dry ice," he said.
The plane landed safely and the roads were reopened at 6:39 am
