A Saudi Arabian Airlines Airbus A330 jet made an emergency landing in Jeddah, late Monday (May 21st), injuring 53 people, AFP reported Tuesday.
The aircraft was travelling from Medina to Dhaka, Bangladesh with 151 people on board, but had to be diverted to Jeddah after it suffered a malfunction in the hydraulic system, the kingdom's Aviation Investigation Bureau (AIB) said.
"The passengers were evacuated by emergency slides," AIB said in a statement, noting that it had launched an investigation into the incident.
