A Saudi Arabian Airlines Boeing 747-400, re-positioning flight SV-9302 from Cairo (Egypt) to Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) with 22 crew, rejected takeoff from Cairo at low speed around 07:30L (04:30Z) when engine #4 (outer right) failed leaving debris behind on the runway. The airplane slowed safely.
The runway was closed for about 2.5 hours until the debris was removed.
The aircraft had brought 416 passengers to Cairo on a charter flight and was scheduled to re-position to Jeddah without passengers.
