NIGERIA: Plane Rams Into Fence At Lagos Airport

A light aircraft operated by Jet Air, over the weekend, rammed into a fence at Lagos Airport, causing damage to the airplane.

Our reporter learnt that the aircraft developed mechanical fault and went out of control while re-parking at the hanger.

“The accident happened at a tarmac beside Bristow Helicopter Hanger 3. The brake of the jet was not functioning, which led to the collision of the jet with the fence of Bristow Helicopter hanger,” a source said.

It was gathered that officials of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) visited the scene to ascertain the cause of the accident.
