Saudia plane survives bird strike, lands safely

A Saudi Airline’s passenger plane narrowly escaped a crash after a bird hit its engine while landing at Jinnah International Airport, Karachi.
  The Boeing 330 flight was carrying passengers from Jeddah to Pakistan when a bird hit its engine on Friday (September 9). However, the pilot managed to safely land the plane at the airport, according to sources.
  In a statement, the spokesman of Saudi Airlines said that a bird hit engine number 1 of the passenger flight SV 700. The aircraft was grounded temporarily, while the engineering staff began work on its repair to enable it for the next flight, SV 701 Karachi to Jeddah, which was canceled.
 All passengers, waiting for the next flight, were sent back to the hotel after the airline’s management announced its cancellation.
