QR-899 from Brisbane,QL (Australia) to Doha (Qatar), was climbing out of Brisbane's runway 19 when the crew stopped the climb at 10,000 feet maintaining relatively low speed (about 260-280 knots) over ground, dumped fuel and returned to Brisbane for a safe landing on runway 19 at high speed (about 200 knots over ground) about 80 minutes after departure already on Jan 1st 2023 local time.
The airline reported the aircraft returned to Brisbane due to a technical problem.
A passenger reported initially but later retracted his narrative, that something white was hanging off one of the wings, a pilot came from the cockpit to visually assess the passenger observation using his torch through the passenger windows, the aircraft subsequently returned to Brisbane.
