A Qantas flight from Melbourne to Sydney has been forced to turn around after take-off this morning, due to reports of fumes in the cabin.
Emergency services met the Boeing 737 plane on arrival back in Melbourne, which Qantas advised is a standard procedure following a priority landing.
A Qantas spokesperson said the airline puts safety first.
"We know that delays like these are frustrating to customers and we're working to re-accommodate passengers on other flights today," they said.
"Engineers are currently inspecting the aircraft."
Qantas confirmed that one of the plane's flight attendants felt unwell due to the fumes.
The incident impacted AFL fans travelling interstate for the preliminary final between Collingwood and Sydney at the SCG this afternoon.
Collingwood President Jeff Browne was among the flight's passengers, but he was transferred to the next available flight to ensure he arrived at the game on time.
