A Melbourne to Los Angeles Qantas flight has landed safely at Sydney Airport after the pilot was forced to abandon the trip when it was detected the engine was losing oil.
Qantas says QF93 was about an hour into its flight from Melbourne when an alert light turned on about 11am, indicating a loss of oil which required the engine to be set to idle.
An airline spokesman says the captain made the decision to land in Sydney to have the fault fixed rather than continuing on the 14-hour flight.
