Emirates passengers were horrified after hearing a loud bang 45 minutes into their flight before realising the plane had completed almost the entire 14-hour trip with a hole in its side.
The A380 took off from Dubai and landed at Brisbane International Airport at 10.45pm on Saturday.
Passengers said they heard the alarming noise shortly after departure and had no clue about what was going on during the long-haul flight.
It was only when they disembarked that they noticed a large gaping hole had been torn in the left fuselage.
Patrick, a passenger on the plane, said airline crew were calm and relaxed despite the concerning sound of the bang.
