A plane bound for Perth circled the Brisbane region for over three hours last night, due to a ruptured tyre.
Flight VA474 departed Brisbane Airport at 9pm, but after a tyre burst on take-off, the craft circled around Brisbane until it was safe to land.
The flight was cancelled and all passengers were provided with overnight accommodation and alternative flight services.
An official statement from Virgin Australia has apologised to those inconvenienced by the ‘engineering issue.’
