A Regional Express (Rex) flight travelling from Dubbo to Sydney was forced to make an emergency landing at Dubbo Airport on Thursday morning.
It is believed 26 people were on board, with early indications pointing to engine failure as the cause of the landing.
After departing at 9.33am, the plane circled Dubbo multiple times, then landed shortly after 10am.
An announcement made at the terminal indicated a flight from Parkes to Sydney would divert to Dubbo to pick up passengers.
The incident comes less than a week after a propeller detached from a Rex plane on the Albury-Sydney route, about 18 kilometres from Sydney Airport.
