AN Air Canada plane has caught fire over Sydney and is currently dumping fuel.
Flight AC34 departed Sydney Airport at at 10.25am en route to Vancouver and Toronto and reportedly experienced a fire in the galley which could not be contained.
Fuel is currently being dumped over Hornsby and Longreef.
It is not known if any dangerous cargo was on board the Boeing 777-233LR.
Two years ago, at least 11 passengers and four crew members were injured when the Air Canada Flight 34 from Sydney to Vancouver hit severe turbulence caused by a thunderstorm about one hour northeast of Honolulu.
More to come.
