Good that this did not happen half way through the flight!
Not a good divert there!

Sounds like pax were not happy. Now 4 in just 2 weeks giving QF a very bad press.

They were not told reason for return - all electrics were out. Not very pleasant for anyone who remembered the Dubai UPS flight.

"Excuse my French, but this is just another Qantas f--- up - that is what the QF probably stands for," he said

Not having a good time at the moment, QF, are they...

Many on other sites would point to outsourced maintenance as a route cause, but who can say.

At least, this time, it's not RR engines or an Airbus.....bet it doesn't get the same coverage in the US media...

Oh hmmm!
