Lagos: Air Maroc Plane Makes Emergency Landing


I heard a passengers' plane belonging to Morocco's national airline, Royal Air Maroc, made an emergency landing at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, Nigeria shortly after taking off on Thursday, 28.

According to some media reports the plane carrying 126 passengers came back to land some 10 minutes after taking off from the airport on a flight to Morocco due to bird strike.

Officials of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) were quoted to have said the pilot contacted the Lagos control tower, requesting for an emergency landing, which was quickly granted by the Air Traffic Controllers on duty.

Thank God all the passengers were disembarked safely.
