A Qantas flight traveling from Singapore to London has been diverted to Azerbaijan due to a fault in the cockpit.
The A380 “QF1” was more than 10 hours into its journey when it was forced to land at Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku at about 2.15pm (EST).
The aircraft was met by fire and rescue teams, who are currently assessing the issue.
Flight radars show that the flight was forced to turn back near the Georgian border.
“Engineers will inspect the aircraft prior to it continuing its journey,” a Qantas spokesperson told the Sydney Morning Herald.
It is unclear how long the plane will remain in Baku.
