A Singapore Airlines (SIA) A380 was forced to return to Hong Kong shortly after taking off because of a landing gear problem, the carrier said Monday.
There were 400 passengers onboard the Singapore-bound plane when the incident happened Sunday, SIA said in a statement.
The plane landed at Hong Kong International Airport at 4:45 pm (0845 GMT) and alternative arrangements were made for passengers to be transferred to other flights, it said.
No one was injured.
