Passengers on an Aero Contractor flight to Uyo in Akwa Ibom state had a flight scare earlier today as the air jet missed the runway in an attempt to land at the Uyo airport.

The flight ran into a terrible rainstorm according to aviation officials.

The Chief Pilot of Aero safely landed the plane after a second try. All passengers disembarked without incident and the airliner has returned to Lagos.

Once an airline working the profitable oil and gas industry routes, Aero Contractors fell deeply into debt but is reportedly making a comeback after settling with Oceanic Bank over the N30bn unpaid funds.

Lord Have Mercy. . .

Are there any Indians/Chinese/Pakistanis/Moroccans etc working there? let's create a thread to bash these set of foreigners too since we have a bunchh of Nigerians here who are not just mindless tribalists(haters of those from other ethnic groups within Nigerians) but Xenophobes and racists, and believe bashing foreigners is same as defending Nigeria

..

There is still the case of the Nigerian cargo plane that crashed in Ghana, killing 10 people. How many Ghanians are calling for Nigerians to get out of their country as a result?

One thing with Nigerians is that we like ti believe/think bigger/more expensive is better.
With all the publicity about the age of aircrafts in business, you would think the likes of aero will be avoided like a plague!
I mean, the average of their aircrafts I heard is 19.7yrs.

Plenty...see ghanaweb.co.uk

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM 9JA SEF WELLLL LET US PRAY

. . . From ur senseless posts we know you are a cretineous creature. Wtf is ur problem? If u hate Nigeria and Nigerians so much you are free to go jump into the Pacific. No wonder someone regarded you as a f.oo.l in the other Dana's Air being owned by Indians thread. Smhip4u.

Na so play play dey take turn serious. From near miss to mishap/tragedy. This is the tym for govt to have a sit down with all airlines and review/reinforce existing rules. Not shedding crocodile tears and rushing back to ASO Rock to eat cassava bread and Gucci tea.

Lord have mercy,Hail Mary pray for us

The Ibru family are trying to emulate those Indians abi?!

Gej for come akwaibom come shade crocordile tears n go back 2 aso rock 2 eat #3m food evryday,Rubbish

I DONT think shoul be carried away by this story. Was it engine,mechanical fault that caused the mishap or heavy rain storm. If its rain storm,it can happen to any airline any where in the world,because of poor visibility of the run way by the cabin crew.I am not trying to support AERO but we should be careful about propaganda stories now. If not for DANA,no body would have heard the story of AIRNIGERIA flying dead planes. Funny enough the story came from someone who has worked for them since they started operations. why didnt he complain why he was working for them? NOw that he is sacked and wanted for stealing,he remembers that they are flying dead planes.
Even the airlines with best most recent aircraft had issues while i flew it somedays ago. We had to wait for an hour in another country for it to be fixed before we could embark on our journey.

IF YOU ARE A FREQUENT TRAVELER ,YOUR LIFE IS IN THE HANDS OF GOD AND NOT THE MEN FLYING THOSE PLANES EVEN THE DRIVERS ON OUR ROADS. ALL WEE NEED IS PRAYERS AND SAFE JOURNEY.

I think we need to fast and pray for this country, is getting out of hands. God help us.

Julietoge: I think we need to fast and pray for this country, is getting out of hands. God help us.

Thats what we need now and also the relevant agencies too need to stand BOLD and deal with any airlines that dont follow the rules.

Thank God o

Goodness it landed safely.

All old planes should be grounded by now in Nigeria. What is the aviation minister waiting for? Does he want the zombie planes to kill more people before taking such important action?
