SINGAPORE: A Singapore Airlines flight preparing to take off from Changi Airport's Terminal 3 had to taxi back to the gates on Wednesday morning, after its pilots received a technical fault message.

The 265 passengers on SQ830, which was bound for Shanghai, had to disembark from the Airbus 380 so engineers could inspect the aircraft and resolve the problem. The plane was also carrying 25 crew.
