At least 29 people were injured on Sunday when a Saudi Arabian Airlines plane made an emergency landing at the airport in the western city of Medina, a government official said.
The Boeing 767 landed without its rear wheels because of a technical failure, local media reported.
The plane was travelling from Mashhad, Iran, carrying about 300 passengers, the official said.
The airport was closed, and all domestic and international flights were cancelled.
