Another air disaster was
averted at the Nnamdi
Azikwe Airport in Abuja
on Monday as a Med-
View Airlines aircraft from
Lagos suddenly took to
the air again at the point
of landing in Abuja. The
pilot had announced final
descent into Abuja and
asked all passengers and
cabin crew to fasten their
seat belts but the pilot
suddenly took off to the
air again with barely 30
seconds to touch ground.
Panic immediately grip
passengers who sort to
know what was going on.
Surprisingly, the pilot
revealed that he
immediately took to the
air again to avoid a
collision with another
aircraft on the tarmac...
The airline Flight VL2104
took off from the Murtala
Muhammed Airport, Lagos
at noon and was
scheduled to land in
Abuja at about 1.05pm.
The plane had 150
passengers on board.
The aircraft was later
granted clearance to land
by the obviously
incompetent people many
the control room. It was
later discovered that the
other aircraft was not
"fast enough", hence the
delay.
You may wish to know
that the aircraft hovered
for another 20 minutes in
the air before finally
landing at about 1.30pm.
While the drama lasted,
the passengers were
panic-stricken, especially
when the plane entered
into turbulent weather on
air.
When the plane finally
landed, passengers
struggled to disembark.
“Are you still sitting
down? Let me rush down
in case it will suddenly
take off again ,” a middle-
aged man told one of the
co-passengers.
