Passengers reported a smell in the cabin and were informed of the smoke and fumes upon landing, causing concern. The incident is considered a matter of concern given recent mechanical issues and emergency landings involving Qantas. Despite the disruption, passengers were awaiting a replacement flight to Perth.
