The kingdoms Aviation Investigation Bureau confirmed Tuesday that a Saudi Arabian Airlines Airbus A330 jet has made an emergency landing at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah. The Saudia aircraft was traveling from the holy city of Medina to Dhaka, Bangladesh with 151 people on board, but had to be diverted to Jeddah late Monday after it suffered a malfunction in the hydraulic system, according to the Bureau. "The passengers were evacuated by emergency slides. 52 of them were slightly injured, while one female passenger suffered a fracture during the evacuation and is now receiving treatment," AIB said in a statement. "AIB has launched an investigation into this accident," it added.
