Saudi flight makes emergency landing

A Saudi Arabian Airlines flight SV3818, which was travelling from Medinah to Dhaka, had to be diverted to Jeddah after suffering a malfunction with the nose landing gear. Saudia Airbus A330-200 made an emergency landing at Jeddah's King Abdulaziz Airport with the nose gear retracted. The aircraft had circled Jeddah for several hours and was forced to make two low passes until it was allowed to land on runway 34R at around 22:00 local time.
