Saudia Airlines Flight Experiences Technical Issue at Lucknow Airport

A Saudia Airlines plane carrying Hajj pilgrims encountered a technical problem at Lucknow Airport on Monday. Witnesses reported smoke and sparks emanating from one of the wheels of the aircraft. This incident is currently developing, and further details are expected to emerge.

In a separate incident, a Lufthansa flight bound for Hyderabad was forced to return to Frankfurt Airport in Germany. The decision followed a bomb threat, and authorities stated the aircraft did not receive landing clearance.

Flight LH752, originating from Germany, was scheduled to land at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport early Monday. Lufthansa cited the lack of landing permission as the reason for the U-turn. An official from Hyderabad airport confirmed the return to Germany due to the bomb threat, which was received while the plane was still outside Indian airspace.
