The plane was flown back to Brisbane at 9000ft and is now locked away in a hanger. Clearly something very wrong! No passengers have heard from Qantas since arriving back in Townsville.

Not necessarily, might need a new sensor from the states.

It returned as QF6114, then did a test flight under that callsign the next day to the BN high performance area, stayed out there for about an hour and then returned. Initially departed in the test flight to FL150, no idea how high it got in the HPA.

The thread I posted indicates that it wasn't that plane.

I'm not sure as to what you are wanting to hear from QF, and as Markis has stated it may just be waiting for a replacement part

Interesting, was told it was the one with the problem. How do you find out the rego post flight?

Qantas source have a jet tracker, although locally balus.info has a nice ADSB page.

it probably take a little while to install new masks and oxy generators throughout the plane.

According to pprune : Reason for depressurisation was Positive Pressure Relief Valve failed.


Internal failure.
