Singapore Airlines forced to divert following warning light

A Singapore Airlines jumbo jet on route from Sydney to Singapore was forced to divert to Brisbane last night after a warning light indicated technical troubles.

The airline was heading for Cairns for fuel before going on to Singapore as it was unable to take off from Sydney with full tanks due to a mishap yesterday involving a plane from China East Airlines yesterday.

When the warning light indicated problems, the crew requested a diversion to Brisbane airport.
