Borno State Deputy Governor, Alhaji Umar Usman Kadafur, and over 100 passengers narrowly escaped a tragic incident when a Max Air aircraft experienced an engine fire shortly after takeoff from Maiduguri International Airport, News360 Nigeria reports.

The incident occurred around 7 p.m. on Wednesday when the aircraft, en route to Abuja, suffered engine failure caused by a bird strike about 10 minutes into the flight. The pilot and crew managed to execute an emergency landing back at Maiduguri Airport, averting disaster.

A Max Air staff member, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the incident on Thursday morning.

The staff member explained: “Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft struck a bird mid-air, which caused one of the engines to catch fire. The pilot acted swiftly to ensure the safety of all passengers.”

Following the emergency landing, passengers were reportedly in a state of panic, with many opting to collect their luggage and return home rather than board another flight. However, Max Air management promptly arranged for another aircraft from Kano to transport resilient passengers, including the Deputy Governor, safely to Abuja.

The ill-fated aircraft remains grounded at Maiduguri International Airport, undergoing extensive repairs. Investigations into the incident are currently underway.

The airport authorities have reassured passengers of their commitment to safety and thanked the crew for their professionalism in managing the situation.

Aircrafts can run on one engine without issues

The captain must be another agbado-bred quota system graduate of Oluwole Institute of Aeronautical Engineering.

Yes but the post said one engine was on fire hence the need for the emergency landing.

I really don't know why max air is yet to be grounded. There are too many incidences associated with max air. We shouldn't wait till these incidences becomes catastrophic

Mr. Deputy Gov. is it compulsory to visit Abuja? When do these leaders stay in their home state?

that aircraft would tilt.

That is why if it happens on a 4-engine aircraft, the corresponding one on the opposing side is put off to compensate.
Also, pilots and aeronautical engineers are two different professions and they do not undergo the same training.
Don't confuse the public with your ignorance.
