A Boeing 787 Dreamliner (in pic) belonging to Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia) made an emergency landing at the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) on Sunday. Flight SV 3835D, which had taken off from the Kuala Lumpur Airport and was en route Medina, had developed a snag mid-air, following which the flight was diverted to KIA. One of the engines of the aircraft is said to have failed mid-air. “Saudi Arabian Airlines Boeing 737 Dreamliner travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Medina (SV 3835 D) was diverted to Bengaluru Airport due to a technical issue.
It landed without incident at 0908 hours and all passengers and crew are reported safe,” said a BIAL
spokesperson. Following the emergency landing, ‘Aircraft on Ground’ was declared at the airport.
ARFF (Air Force Fire Fighting) teams were deployed and the passengers and crew on board the Dreamliner were safely made to alight and were taken to the terminal. Operations at KIA were affected for a few minutes and there was a backlog of flights. This is second time in a month that a flight underwent an engine failure near KIA. In November, a GoAir aircraft, with 180 passengers on board, veered off the runway into a grass pitch while attempting to land at KIA.
Due to poor visibility, the aircraft was asked to go-around. One of the engines of the A320 aircraft stalled when the flight initiated the go-around process.
