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.
It was 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.
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.
