Two Planes Collide At Lagos Airport

There was a minor accident 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.
Airport sources said the Turkish Airplane
had landed safely but was taxing to stop at
the apron, when its wing collided with that
of Max Air.
The collision resulted in minor damages to
both airplanes and they have been taken
away for repairs.
When contacted , Mr. Fan Ndubuoke,
spokesman for Nigerian Civil Aviation
Authority (NCAA) confirmed the incident.
He however said damages to the aircraft
belonging to both airlines are minor and
that both planes have been taken away for
repairs.
It will be recalled that there was a similar
incident last year in Jos, Plateau State when
an Arik plane wings brushed an Airforce jet
parked at the apron when the plane was
taxing to stop .
There was no casualty in the incident but
only damages to both planes.
