United States Air Force had an emergency landing at Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport, Blang Bintang, Aceh Besar, Aceh, Friday (March 24).

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BANDA ACEH -- A U.S. Air Force plane made an emergency landing at the Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport in the westernmost Indonesian province of Aceh on Friday after it developed an engine problem.

"The U.S. Air Force plane made an emergency landing due to an engine problem. The plane was a Boeing 707," Commander of the Sultan Iskandar Muda Airbase, Colonel Suliono said.

The plane made an emergency landing at the airport at around 01.20 p.m. local time on Friday, while on its flight from the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean to an airbase in Japan, he said.

He further said the plane carrying 20 U.S. military personnel landed at the largest commercial airport in Aceh province safely after one of its four engines had trouble.

Before the plane landed, the airport's traffic control unit received an emergency call from the plane and the emergency call was later passed on to the Iskandar Muda airbase, he said.

"After we had communicated with the plane's crew members, the U.S. military plane was allowed to land (at the airport)," he said.

Before landing at the airport, the plane had hovered in the sky to release all of its fuel to prevent it from being exploded during landing, he said.

"All (airport) officers, including firefighters, were readied when the plane landed. The plane landed safely," he said.

وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوْٓا اِلَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَاۤءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيًاۢ بَيْنَهُمْۗ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى لَّقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْۗ وَاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْرِثُوا الْكِتٰبَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ لَفِيْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيْبٍ
Dan mereka (Ahli Kitab) tidak berpecah belah kecuali setelah datang kepada mereka ilmu (kebenaran yang disampaikan oleh para nabi) karena kedengkian antara sesama mereka. Jika tidaklah karena suatu ketetapan yang telah ada dahulunya dari Tuhanmu (untuk menangguhkan azab) sampai batas waktu yang ditentukan, pastilah hukuman bagi mereka telah dilaksanakan. Dan sesungguhnya orang-orang yang mewarisi Kitab (Taurat dan Injil) setelah mereka (pada zaman Muhammad), benar-benar berada dalam keraguan yang mendalam tentang Kitab (Al-Qur'an) itu.

(QS. Asy-Syura ayat 14)
