Solace Base Staff, Others Escape Death as Max Air Plane Crash-Lands in Kano

A Max Air aircraft with registration number 5N-MBD, B733 crash-landed on Tuesday night at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA).

The plane, carrying 53 passengers and six crew members, was arriving from Lagos when the incident occurred at approximately 10:45 PM.

One of the passengers, Aliyu Inuwa Mansir, a correspondent with SolaceBase, reported that the mishap happened after the aircraft’s front tire burst into flames upon landing.

Immediately after the tire burst into flames, smoke filled the cabin, and we had to evacuate through the emergency exit,” Mansir recounted.

As we exited the aircraft, firefighters were already on the scene, spraying water to contain the flames.”

Speaking on the incident, Malam Bello Ramadan, the Station Manager of Max Air, confirmed that all passengers and crew members were safely evacuated.

“I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused and thank God for the safety of everyone on board. The well-being of our passengers and crew is always our top priority.”

He explained that the airline followed standard safety procedures for crash-landings and runway overshoots, which included: immediate evacuation of passengers, isolation of the pilots and collaboration with aviation safety authorities

Ramadan further disclosed that the airline is working closely with the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) and the Aircraft and Equipment Department (AED) to determine the cause of the incident.

“Preliminary findings suggest a tire malfunction as the cause of the accident. However, we will fully cooperate with relevant authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and implement necessary safety measures.”

He assured affected passengers that efforts are underway to return their luggage promptly.

“We understand the distress this has caused, and we deeply appreciate the patience and cooperation of our passengers. Safety remains our highest priority at Max Air.”

Authorities have confirmed that no injuries or casualties were recorded. The incident, however, has raised concerns about aviation safety standards in Nigeria, prompting renewed calls for strict aircraft maintenance and regulatory oversight.

The Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) has since launched an official probe into the matter.

Malam Aminu Kano International Airport has been temporarily closed for inspection and clearance after a Max Air aircraft suffered a tyre burst while landing on Tuesday night.

The incident led to flight disruptions though all 62 passengers and crew aboard were safely evacuated without injuries.



Thank God no Life was Lost!

Nairaland mods will not see this to move to the front page now, but are always swift to banning someone when a harmless comment is made.

For some times now, it seems that Max Air had been planning to crash. That airline needs to be temporarily shut down and thoroughly investigated.

Thank God no lives were lost in the Max Air plane incident. However, this crash landing raises serious concerns about aviation safety in Nigeria. Max Air should face a hefty penalty for this mishap, as it highlights the need for stricter aircraft maintenance and stronger regulatory oversight. It’s crucial that such incidents are fully investigated, and lessons learned to prevent future occurrences.

Woah! thankGod for safe landing.Nigeria would have been in the news for the wrong reasons,remember in those days when Kemas Chikwes to Borishade as ministers of aviation,we had series of air crashes that startled the nation.we remember bell view airline,sosoliso airline and ADC airlines which all crashed at that time.
My heart still goes out to them.
