Two planes collide at Lagos airport
There was a minor accident on Friday at
the Murtala Muhammed International
Airport, Lagos, involving a Turkish Airline
aircraft and a Max Air plane. The Turkish
Airline plane wings collided with that of
Max Air plane which had brought in
Pilgrims from Saudi Arabia.
Saturday PUNCH learnt that the Turkish
Airplane had landed safely but was
taxiing to stop at the airport’s apron
when its wing collided with that of Max
Air.
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.
