A Singapore Airlines flight bound for Singapore had to make a U-turn back to Sydney Airport shortly after takeoff on Sunday, April 7, due to a technical hiccup. Flight SQ232, which was slated to depart Sydney at 11 am local time and land in Singapore by 5:30 pm, encountered an unexpected issue concerning the aircraft’s flaps, crucial components that assist in shortening the takeoff and landing distances. The decision to return was made approximately an hour into the flight, prioritizing passenger safety and aircraft integrity.
