Max Air plane incident forces Kano airport runway shutdown
A Max Air plane incident has caused the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport to shut down its runway temporarily.
“We wish to inform the public that one of our aircraft experienced an incident upon landing in Kano yesterday. Our crew handled the situation professionally, ensuring the safe evacuation of all passengers and crew members,” said the airline on Wednesday. “There were no injuries, and the aircraft has since been removed from the runway as of 04:28.”
It added, “As a result, the Kano runway will remain temporarily closed for inspection and clearance, which may lead to some delays in flight operations today, Wednesday, 29/01/2025.
“We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience as we await further updates on the runway reopening.”
