A Virgin Airlines flight has been forced to turn around and make an emergency landing overnight.
Flight VA455 left Brisbane Airport to Darwin just after 6pm last night, when it was forced to turn around mid-flight.
The plane was forced to land back in Brisbane, where Queensland Fire and Rescue were waiting as a precaution.
Virgin confirmed to Weekend Today that the aircraft was experiencing a cabin pressure issue that required the plane to fly at a lower altitude.
Passengers were not injured during the ordeal.
Virgin are trying to accommodate passengers who were expecting to land in Darwin.
An investigation is underway to figure out what caused the issue.
