BREAKING: DRAMA AT ABUJA AIRPORT AS AZMAN AIR PLANE RUNS OUT OF FUEL MID-AIR


About 60 passengers aboard an Azman Air plane en route to Abuja were on Monday thrown into confusion as the aircraft almost ran out of fuel while hovering in the air for hours after it was prevented from landing.

A source, who was also on board the Flight ZQ 2332 but asked not to be named, told Saharareporters that the aircraft departed Kano at 1:20pm and was expected to land at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport Abuja at 2:05pm . He said that when the pilot contacted the control tower for clearance for landing, he was told that he could not land because of some military planes on special operation were at the airport.

The pilot was in a dilemma and thought about returning to Kano after spending over an hour hovering in the air and having already announced that he was running out of fuel. Some passengers rejected the decision and prevailed on him to land, saying that they would be down with the consequences of violating the directive of the control tower.

The pilot was said to have yielded to the request and landed without clearance from the control tower.

Among the passengers were Sule Lamido, a presidential aspirant of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Shehu Sani, the senator representing Kaduna Central at the National Assembly, and Senator Sabo Mohammed from Jigawa State.

The pilot was reported to have apologised to the passengers for the delay.

Efforts to get officials of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to react to the incident were unsuccessful.

Some military planes belonging to Air Force are on aerial display rehearsal in Abuja ahead of the Independence Day celebration on October 1.

Dangerous political warning signs everywhere.
-Shekarau house got burnt in Kano
-Garba Shehu farm got destroyed.
-Osun is slipping out of APC grip.
-Politicians luckily escaped air mishap.
God save Nigeria.

Nothing surprises me any more in this country.






Next!

Recklessness.

This means no proper coordination in information management bw abuja and Kano air traffic controllers?

No peace for the wicked.

The god's are angry

This administration is filled with tears, sorrow and grief.

Dear God,may we never experience any more disaster,be it Fulani herdsmen or from the stable of the Janja'weed party and their men in government.
Please give us peace this remaining months to 2019 election after which you can take back the idiotic fool.

Something must kill a man!

Okay

Praise the Lord

Runs out of fuel... This is Nigeriaaa

They call us shithole country for a reason...

Isn't landing without clearance very risky?

I thought the life of citizens is paramount. Because they want to dance for Buhari on independence day, they almost killed people.
There should have been proper communication between Abuja and Kano airports. And since that error had occurred, the plane should have been allowed to land.

No wonder the country is called zoo from within and shithole from outside.

And God finally said "let my PEOPLE go"

I keep on saying it this country is just getting worse by day, and plunging into perpetual abiss.

So simple sense cant tell the control tower to pause that useless air show by that useless airforce let them go to zambiza and parade there.

Country thay doesn't value life of its citizens, had being it happened they will cook up cock and bull story and tell us how they tried there best to direct the captain but had to loose the plane blc its the work of the devil.

Check the top and see names of usless, unqualified, pot bellied men leading them.

Hmm

it would have bn better if he ran out of fuel mid air n the rehearsal continues

the controller of the control tower should be arrested for attempted murder, pilots you guys should stop managing fuel, next time buy full tank.

You have forgotten this is Nigeria, where military takes priority over best practices.

We don't value d lives of our citizens. This is not about PMB it's about choosing to do what is right. How can u continue to keep an aircraft in d air because the military is carrying out some air display? Allow the distressed plain to land n then we can enjoy d military parade in peace.

what a country!

1) A plane is running out of fuel and the ATC refuses to give permission to land

2) A pilot is taking instructions from VIP passengers

The Pilot took a pragmatic decision, if not,all of them would have perished.
