VietJet Flight Returns to Melbourne After Technical Issue

Western Australia Premier Roger Cook expressed hope for the early return of Donna Nelson, an Australian grandmother sentenced to six years in Japan for drug trafficking. Nelson, 58, was convicted for attempting to smuggle 2kg of methamphetamine into Tokyo, claiming she was tricked by an online scam. Meanwhile, a VietJet flight from Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh City was forced to return shortly after takeoff due to a technical issue, landing safely back at Melbourne Airport over six hours later. The flight, VJ82, experienced a drop in altitude before circling over Bendigo for three hours. VietJet confirmed the flight was canceled and passengers will be rebooked on alternative flights. Thankfully, no emergency services were required during the incident.
