Last night, heading from Medina to the capital of Bangladesh Dhaka, Airbus A330 was forced to make an emergency landing in Jeddah.

On board there were 151 people. According to the Bureau of Aviation of Saudi Arabia, the aircraft has problems with the hydraulic system. "The people on board were evacuated, 52 of them received minor injuries, another one has a fracture," the aviation service said..

The plane circled over Jeddah for several hours due to a malfunction of the front landing gear. In the end, the pilot was forced to go to an extreme landing.

A similar incident occurred in 2014, when the Boeing 767 company Saudi Arabia Airlines (Saudia) made an emergency landing in the Medina. Then 29 people were injured.
