A Dash 8 aircraft made a "priority landing" on Lord Howe Island following engine failure. A Qantas spokeswoman said flight QF2260 from Sydney (Kingsford Smith) Airport - YSSY to Lord Howe Island Airport - YLHI, which was carrying 23 passengers and three crew members, experienced an oil-pressure issue with one of its engines about 2pm (AEST).
