As it started to climb out of Melbourne’s runway 34 the pilots noted that the right hand main gear door didn’t close after the gear was retracted. The crew stopped the climb at 6000 feet and returned to Melbourne for a safe landing on runway 34 about 20 minutes after they had departed.

A flight from Madrid to New York was cruising at FL400 over Canada when the crew noticed a burning smell in the rear of the cabin. The Cabin crew ran to locate the source of the smell. They decided to move the passengers out of their seats and search around the seats. After five minutes of searching, they found a short circuit in the inflight entertainment system of one of the seats. They were able to remove these cables and the smell disappeared.
The pilots thought about diverting, but when the crew found the source of the smell, they continued to New York and landed safely.
