Plane en route from Tel Aviv to Tokyo makes emergency landing back in Israel

An El Al passenger plane traveling from Tel Aviv to Tokyo had to double back and make an emergency landing at Ben Gurion International Airport late Saturday. Ambulances and medics were on standby on the runway as the plane made its emergency landing. No injuries were reported. The 787 Dreamliner Boeing aircraft, carrying 150 passengers, landed safely back at Ben Gurion International Airport about 20 minutes after take-off, following “technical issues with one of the engines,” El Al said. One passenger on the flight said travelers “had no idea what was going on.” “Suddenly 20 minutes after take-off, they said there was a problem with the engine and that they were landing the plane back [at the airport]. It was very stressful,” the passenger told Channel 12. The passengers were told to disembark and wait in the terminal.<br/>
