The level of incompetence by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority can never be overemphasised with the amount of plane and air accidents. Many people can't even think of travelling by air because of its uncertainty, there must be a change unless something worse would occur though we don't hope for that.
There was a minor accident Friday at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos involving a Turkish Airline aircraft and a Max Air plane. The Turkish Airline plane wings collided with that of Max Air plane which had brought in Pilgrims from Saudi Arabia.
Airport sources said the Turkish Airplane had landed safely but was taxing to stop at the apron, when its wing collided with that of Max Air.
The collision resulted in minor damages to both airplanes and they have been taken away for repairs.
When contacted , Mr. Fan Ndubuoke, spokesman for Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) confirmed the incident. He however said damages to the aircraft belonging to both airlines are minor and that both planes have been taken away for repairs.
It will be recalled that there was a similar incident last year in Jos, Plateau State when an Arik plane wings brushed an Air force jet parked at the apron when the plane was taxing to stop . There was no casualty in the incident but only damages to both planes.
