A 45-year-old man has been arrested following a midair incident that caused a Malaysia-bound flight to turn back to Australia and sparked other delays and cancellations at Sydney airport.
Scores of flights out of Sydney airport were affected following the emergency incident on the runway on Monday. Malaysia Airlines flight 122 left Sydney at about 1pm bound for Kuala Lumpur, but turned back due to the passenger and landed at about 3.45pm.
