Passengers have been assured that they can take the next available flight to complete their journey, or get an overnight stay in Singapore.
"QF10 from Dubai to Melbourne was required to divert to Singapore’s Changi Airport due to a mechanical fault," the airline said in response to queries on social media.
“Customers will be booked on the next available service to their destination, or provided overnight accommodation.”
