There
was an airplane accident on Friday at the Murtala Muhammed International
Airport, Lagos, involving a Turkish Airline aircraft and a Max Air
plane while the Turkish Airline aircraft was taxiing to a stop after touching down on the tarmac and it's wing collided with that of Max Air which had brought in Pilgrims from Saudi Arabia.
The collision resulted in minor damages to both airplanes and sources said they had been taken away for repairs.
An online newspaper said the Spokesman,
Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, Mr. Fan Ndubuoke, confirmed the
incident. He however said damages to the aircraft belonging to both
airlines were minor and that both planes had been taken away for
repairs.
A similar incident occurred last year in
Jos, Plateau State, when an Arik plane wings brushed an Airforce jet
parked at the apron when the plane was taxiing to stop. There was also
no casualty in the incident but only damages to both planes.
ReplyDeleteWe still have a long way to go in Naija, they should sack the ground controller and they pilot should have seen the wing of the other aircraft though abi our airport is now a motor park?
We still have a long way to go if we were actually going somewhere but we are not.
