Panel came lose on Virgin Australia Boeing 737 on flight VA346,
The underside panel near the lower flap, on a Virgin Australia Boeing 737-800 on flight VA346, came loose and began whipping about in the wind.
The flight VA346, which took off from Brisbane Airport for Melbourne (Australia) just before 6pm yesterday, was diverted back to Brisbane to make an emergency landing after being in the air for an hour.
The panel on the plane’s left-hand wing, which is attached to the lower flap, partially separated from the lower flap while the plane was mid-air.
No injuries were reported.
