A minor accident occurred on Friday at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport,
Lagos, involving a Turkish Airline aircraft and a Max Air plane. One of
the wings of the Turkish Airline plane collided with that of a Max Air
plane which had flown in Pilgrims from Saudi Arabia.
It was gathered that the Turkish Airline
aircraft had landed safely but as it taxied to a stop at the airport’s
apron, its wing collided with that of Max Air which resulted in minor
damages to both airplanes.
According to a report by an online news portal, the Spokesman, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority,
Mr. Fan Ndubuoke, who confirmed the incident, however, said damages to
the aircraft belonging to both airlines were minor and that the planes
have been taken away for repairs.
It
would be recalled that a similar incident occurred last year in Jos,
Plateau State, when an Arik plane’s wing brushed an Air force jet parked
at the apron as the plane was taxiing to stop. There was also no
casualty in the incident but only damages to both planes.
