A Saudi Arabian Airlines aircraft suffered an engine fire on Saturday (25 June), forcing the flight to return to its point of departure.
The Boeing 747 was on its way from Egypt's Cairo airport to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia when the fire started. The aircraft was carrying 22 crew members and no passengers.
The pilot brought the fire under control using the engine's built-in fire extinguishers, and returned to the Egyptian airport where the aircraft landed safely, reported Reuters.
