A Singapore Airlines flight from London to Singapore was turned back shortly after take-off due to "vibrations" on one of its engines.

The incident on Friday, March 25 involved a Boeing 777-300ER with 225 passengers and 18 crew on board.

Flight SQ305 encountered technical issues shortly after take-off from London, an SIA spokesperson told CNA.
