The airport firefighters arrived at the scene about 10 seconds after the fire erupted. The flames was extinguished within seconds, but the plane was left engulfed in smoke.
According to reports, the fire happened after hydraulic fluid – which is flammable – leaked onto the aircraft’s hot brakes.
All 189 passengers and seven crew members on board were safely evacuated without injuries.
Egypt’s civil aviation ministry praised the airport workers for responding “professionally” to the fire, saying that it “could have turned into a disaster,”
