Fed: Swan says Qantas pilot blamed other plane

Eds: Removes reference from Qantas Swan exCanberra sent earlier to Mr Swan being terrified





Opposition frontbencher WAYNE SWAN says the pilot of a Qantas plane told passengers
he was aborting a landing because there was another plane on the runway.

But air safety officials deny there was another plane involved in the incident at Brisbane
airport on Friday.

Mr SWAN, who was on the flight from Sydney, says the pilot told passengers he was going
around again because there was another plane on the runway.

He says the passengers remained calm, and no-one panicked.
