HUNDREDS of passengers are stranded at Melbourne airport after a Singapore Airlines flight was forced to turn back after an hour in the air.
Singapore Airlines Flight SQ228 from Melbourne to Singapore took off at 5pm but was back on the ground about 6pm when the crew discovered the air-conditioning would not work above an altitude of 5000 feet.
The passengers have been told by the crew the lengthy delay is due to the arrival of air-conditioner parts from Sydney.
Katina Demetriou from Geelong said her niece Angela is aboard the air-craft.
"Angela has been texting me on her mobile phone and the latest word is they'll be stuck at Melbourne airport until 12pm. The passengers are not happy but at least the air-conditioning is working on the ground, ''Mrs Demetriou said.
