Saudia flight from Jeddah reports smoke from wheels on landing in Lucknow

Smoke was detected from the wheels of a Saudia aircraft after it landed at Lucknow airport from Jeddah on Sunday, ANI has reported.

The Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) team acted quickly, coordinating with the Saudia crew to contain the situation and prevent any damage to the aircraft.

The smoke was reportedly caused by a minor hydraulic oil leakage from the landing gear.


Despite the incident, airport operations continued without disruption and all passengers on board, who were mostly Haj pilgrims, deboarded safely.

The empty flight has also been cleared to return to its destination today.
