A Greek plane landed safely in Tel Aviv without anyone being hurt on Thursday after issuing a rare mayday call on its approach to Israel’s Ben Gurion international airport.<\/p>\n
The plane had apparently suffered a hydraulic problem around noon and was forced to take measures for an emergency landing, said airport spokesman Ofer Lefler.<\/p>\n
All 170 people on board, passengers and crew, were safe and well, said police spokesmen Micky Rosenfeld.<\/p>\n
Tel Aviv was the plane’s original destination and was part of its regular flight routine.<\/p>\n
Mayday signals are rare and security-conscious Israel went on high alert around the airport after Thursday’s call.<\/p>\n
Israeli media reported that the emergency call prompted large numbers of ambulances and rescue teams to rush to the airport and hospitals were put on standby.<\/p>\n
