A Qantas Boeing 737-800, registration VH-VZC performing flight QF-857 from Canberra,AC to Perth,WA (Australia), was enroute at FL380 about 500nm west of Adelaide,SA (Australia) when the crew decided to turn around and divert to Adelaide due to fumes on board, that caused a number of passengers to complain about feeling unwell. The aircraft landed safely on Adelaide's runway 23 about 75 minutes later. 15 passengers were examined for possible Carbon Monoxide inhalation and were found okay.

The passengers were rebooked onto other flights to Perth.

The aircraft returned to service about 9 hours after landing.
