An Air Arabia flight from Sharjah to the Egyptian Mediterranean port of Alexandria made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia after one of the passengers suffered from a heart attack, a Saudi daily said on Sunday.

The plane landed at the airport in the northwestern town of Hail, where the unnamed passenger, in his 50s, was taken to King Khaled hospital.

“The passenger received treatment and his condition stabilized…he was due to be taken back to the plane on Saturday,” Sabq said.
