Two days ago the minister of aviation had a press statement concerning med-views B747-400 Emergency landing at the Murtala Mohammed Airport Lagos. No reports have been given as to what actually caused the surge within the engine of the aircraft, which prompted a go around by the Pilots
Medview aircraft, a 737-400 with Reg.No 5N BPA from Lagos-Abuja-Yola earlier today made an air return to Lagos about 15 miniutes after take-off. The plane had taken off at 12 noon. The pilot of the aircraft who noticed a surge in one of the engines immediately applied the necessary safety precautionary measure by returning the aircraft to base.
The pilot made a safe and smooth landing while all passengers were successfully disembarked and subsequently transferred to another aircraft in the fleet, a 737-800. All passengers in the 737-800 were safely dropped at the two destinations-Abuja and Yola.
NCAA officials and technicians are currently on ground looking at the circumstances surrounding the air return. It must however be pointed out that air return is a normal procedure usually applied by pilots and airlines all over the world whenever there is a compelling reason to discontinue the flight.
Is it not too soon for such a new airline to experience faults barely 5months into the start of the airlineJoe Obi
