Saudia Jeddah-Lucknow Flight Smoke<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after landing in Lucknow from Jeddah, ground personnel noticed smoke emanating from the landing gear area of a Saudia (SV) aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF)<\/strong> team at Lucknow Airport (LKO)<\/strong> promptly responded and coordinated with the flight crew to manage the incident effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initial assessments indicated the smoke was caused by a minor hydraulic oil leak<\/strong> within the landing gear system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the visual concern, there was no fire or structural damage<\/strong>, and the aircraft was declared safe after inspection. The incident did not disrupt ongoing airport activities, highlighting the efficiency of emergency response coordination<\/strong> between Saudia staff and airport authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Injuries, Safe Deboarding for Hajj Pilgrims<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The flight was carrying passengers returning from the Hajj, a period known for high inbound traffic from the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All passengers disembarked safely without injury or distress. Medical and ground support teams were on standby, though no intervention was required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following standard protocol, the Saudia (SV) aircraft remained grounded for post-landing checks. Once cleared, the jet will be prepared for its next scheduled operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
