A Lagos-bound Aero Contractors aircraft from Port Harcourt developed what looked like a technical fault mid air on Sunday afternoon.
We gathered that the aircraft suddenly started making a deafening noise which made passengers become uneasy fuelled by the pilot and the crew’s refusal to explain what was happening on board the full flight.
The aircraft however managed to make it to Lagos airspace prompting an emergency landing at the cargo section of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport at about 5.30pm Local time.
After it successfully landed, We gathered that the obviously frightened and shocked passengers made a dash for the emergency exits which left some of them with injuries but no lives were lost.
Three (3) NAHCO buses were deployed to transport the passengers to the local wing of the airport.
Recall that a few months ago, another Aero plane flying from Abuja to Lagos on a Sunday morning had a close mishap courtesy of bad weather.
