US EditionHundreds of Australians Stranded in Azerbaijan After Qantas Jet Forced to Divert
- A Qantas Airbus A380 traveling from London to Singapore made an unscheduled stop in Baku, Azerbaijan today after a passenger experienced a medical issue onboard.

- The pilot made a 180-degree turn to safely land at Heydar Aliyev International Airport, which is not typically equipped for large aircraft arrivals.
- Nearly 500 passengers were stranded overnight as the operating crew reached duty limits, forcing Qantas to arrange visas and around 400 hotel rooms in Baku.
