Max Air flight crash-lands in Abuja, all passengers safe
A Max Air flight carrying 143 passengers and an infant crash-landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja after experiencing two tyre bursts on landing. The airline confirmed that all passengers and crew are safe and sound, and are being taken care of. The accident occurred on May 7th, 2023, and the emergency response team responded quickly to the incident. The aircraft is currently being investigated before it can be released for future flights.

The incident caused fear and panic among the passengers as they heard a loud bang when the aircraft's tyres burst. However, the pilot managed to control the aircraft and avoid a major disaster. Passengers were seen thanking the pilot for his quick thinking and professionalism.

One of the passengers, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, "We thank God for saving our lives. It was a scary experience, and we didn't know what was happening. But the pilot did an excellent job of controlling the aircraft and bringing it to a safe landing."

Max Air, in its statement, assured the public that the airline's priority is the safety and well-being of its passengers and crew. It also thanked the emergency response team for their prompt response to the incident.

The incident has once again highlighted the importance of safety measures in the aviation industry. The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has launched an investigation into the incident, and Max Air is cooperating fully with the authorities.

The incident has also raised concerns about the state of airport infrastructure in Nigeria, as this is not the first time an aircraft has experienced tyre bursts on landing in the country. The Nigerian government has been urged to invest more in airport infrastructure to ensure the safety of passengers and crew.

The Max Air incident comes just weeks after another aircraft, belonging to Air Peace, crash-landed at the Lagos airport. The incident resulted in the closure of the runway, causing flight cancellations and delays. The Nigerian government has been criticised for not doing enough to improve the state of the country's aviation industry.

The incident is a reminder of the importance of regular maintenance checks and adherence to safety regulations in the aviation industry. The authorities must ensure that all airlines operating in the country adhere to safety regulations to prevent a repeat of such incidents.
