Singapore Airlines flight SQ236, bound for Singapore from Brisbane, was forced to make an emergency landing in Rockhampton, Queensland, after smoke was detected in the cabin. The Airbus A350-900 jet departed Brisbane at 2:32pm local time and landed safely at Rockhampton Airport at 4:09pm. All passengers disembarked normally. The airline is investigating the cause of the smoke, which was reportedly due to a technical issue affecting the aircraft's safety monitoring systems. Singapore Airlines is providing affected passengers with necessary assistance, including refreshments and rebooking for onward travel. A relief flight is scheduled to depart Rockhampton at midnight local time and arrive at Changi Airport at 5:05am on November 12, subject to weather conditions in Brisbane.
