Plane Crash Averted as Aircraft Loses Engine Mid-Air


A potential plane crash in Nigeria was averted on Friday as an Arik Air aircraft carrying over 100 passengers and crew on board lost one of its two engines mid-air.


According to Sahara Reporters, the aircraft, a Boeing 737 with the registration number 5N-MJD, departed Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA), Lagos, for Jos when the pilot discovered that the plane had lost one of its engines during the flight.


The aircraft was reportedly already 60 miles away from Lagos before the incident occurred.


Immediately after the pilot discovered the problem, he contacted the Lagos control tower, which granted him emergency landing status.


Passengers panicked when they were informed that the aircraft would return to Lagos.


When the aircraft landed in Lagos, it could not taxi out of the runway and it took the intervention of the Airport Rescue and Fire-Fighting Services (ARFFS), a department in the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), to tow the aircraft to the hajj and cargo terminal area of the airport in order for the passengers to disembark from the aircraft.

Wow! Stunning! Hilton seems to be taking Africa by storm. Just a couple of years back, they opened the first ever in Eswatini.

Good location astounding but the staffs are rude and they make me wait so long for the service. They charge me more than what is on the website and did not refund me the manager is not helping with the issue

I am really tempted to book the next ethiopian airlines ticket and relive your journey. The pictures shared with the post also reflect that you truly enjoyed the travel. Great post! I also like the fact that you have covered nuances about the food and entertainment service through the pictures. It helps people know what to expect on their travel by this airline.
