Saudi jet makes emergency landing

KARACHI - A Saudi Arabian chartered jet made an emergency belly landing in Karachi on Sunday after one of its nose wheels jammed, a civil aviation spokesman said. The MD-83 Saudi plane, carrying 72 passengers and crew members, was en route from the northern Saudi city of Tabuk to Quetta when the pilot diverted the jet to Karachi over concerns about the wheels. “The aircraft made an emergency belly landing. All 72 passengers and crew remained safe,” Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Spokesman Pervez George told AFP.
