A Qantas flight was forced to turn back and crew members were taken to hospital after an ‘unusual smell’ was detected onboard.

The QF1798 flight from Brisbane to Rockhampton on Sunday night was forced to return to the Queensland capital after cabin crew noted the strange scent in the aircraft’s galley.

Five cabin crew members were assessed by paramedics on arrival in Brisbane after reportedly being affected by fumes on board.

‘Two were taken to hospital for further medical checks. They were released last night,’ a Qantas spokesperson said.

‘No passengers were impacted by the smell. All are being re-accommodated on flights this morning.’

Passengers were left to spend the night in Brisbane and travel to Rockhampton on Monday morning.

The flight had supposed to leave Brisbane at 6.10pm on Sunday and arrive in the central Queensland town at 7.20pm.

The aircraft’s flight tracker shows it turned back just southwest of Hervey Bay.
