The Garuda Indonesia flight – also carrying 18 crew members – was bound for Medina in Saudi Arabia but had to land back at Makassar, Indonesia.

Many of those on board the Boeing 747-400 aircraft were due to take part in the Hajj annual pilgrimage in Mecca.

The aircraft immediately returned to the airport after “fire was observed in one of the engines”, a Garuda Indonesia spokesman said

It returned to the Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport at around 5.15pm on 15 May.

No one on board was injured.

Garuda Indonesia president, Irfan Setiaputra said: “The captain discovered that one of the engines was on fire and immediately decided that further inspection was necessary to determine whether the engine was faulty.

“The decision was made immediately after the aircraft took off.”
The airline said they provided accommodation for the affected passengers.
