Tragedy Averted As Max Air Aircraft Crash Lands At Abuja Airport

Tragedy was averted as Max Air aircraft crash landed at Abuja airport.

Glamtush reports that a Max Air aircraft has crash landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Sunday after the tyre reportedly burst into flames.

According to a report by Daily Trust, the aircraft had arrived from Yola, Adamawa State when the incident happened.

Former President of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), Dr. Mike Ogirima, who gave an account of the incident, said the tyre burst occurred after takeoff at Yola Airport.

However, the aircraft crash-landed in Abuja with emergency officials already on ground to put off the fire before the passengers were disembarked right at the runway.

Ogirima said, “We thank God. We are still on the runway and pilot has reassured us. He has called for the stairs and we are now disembarking from the runway to be evacuated to the airport building at the arrival hall.

“We bless God because we have witnessed the pull out of the tyre right from the airport in Yola and we went into prayer session. I never announced it as a surgeon so as not to cause any panic but we bless God.”

The passengers were safely disembarked from the runway while the runway has been temporarily shut until the evacuation of the aircraft.

An official of the airline who confirmed the incident said the passengers safely disembarked.

He expressed gratitude to God for the safety of all the passengers and crew members.

He said the airline would officially inform the appropriate authorities to carry out an investigation into the incident.
