Considering the number of aircraft headed to Jeddah this time of year, was there much disruption/diversions or did the incident happen during a quiet period?
Remember, there's 3 very long runways at Jeddah.
Yes, I know one is for arrivals, one for departures, and one for the military, but that sort of asset capability gives them plenty of flexability.....errr, then again it is Saudi, so maybe not!
Just very glad I'll never be going back there ever again!

C runway is closed. If they float and BTV an early exit then these things can happen..pure speculation. I wasnt there
