Those onboard reported loud banging and the smell of smoke in the incident. The aircraft was returned to Brisbane for an emergency landing and landed without further incident.
- Cause : "These findings should not be read as apportioning blame or liability to any particular organisation or individual.
A single aerofoil on the low pressure compressor (boost) rotor failed as a result of high-cycle fatigue cracking. A loud bang observed by the flight crew prompted a precautionary descent and return to the departure aerodrome."
