Perturbed with a spate if incidents involving Qantas airplane, Australian government ordered today a special review of the  entire fleet of Qantas.  Hopefully this will double check any problem and confidence in Airlines will be resumed.

 

Australian aviation authorities have announced a special review of airline Qantas, after three safety scares in little more than a week.

A Qantas 767 was forced to return to Sydney on Saturday after a fluid leak.

It followed another plane's emergency landing in Manila caused by a hole in its side, and a problem with a landing gear cover on a domestic flight.

Officials said they had no evidence of falling safety standards, but added it was "prudent" to take a closer look.
