    UP to 50 people were injured when Qantas Airbus carrying more than 300 people made an emergency landing in Western Australia.

    The flight - QF72 from Singapore - made the landing at Learmonth Airport, near Exmouth, just before 2pm.

    Police Media's Inspector Wayne Silver said the flight had landed safely, but preliminary information suggested there had been some sort of "instrument failure" and turbulence.

    Insp Silver said there were reports of passengers sustaining severe lacerations and broken bones.

    Emergency services and medical staff are at the airport.
