Another plane crash averted in Akwa Ibom

Another air accident was averted yesterday in Akwa Ibom, when a local Aero flight which was flying from Lagos to Uyo, the state’s capital, missed the runaway in an attempt to land. Passengers on the flight were said to have been in panic when the jetliner ran into bad weather in an attempt to land at the airport. This development came just four days after a Dana Air plane crashed into a residential area in Lagos, killing over 153 people. Aviation officials who preferred anonymity, confirmed the incident, saying that the aircraft had ran into a terrible rainstorm before the incident. All the passengers disembarked without any incident and the airliner returned to Lagos. The media consultant to the airline, Mr. Simon Tumba, however, said that the aircraft ran into bad weather in Uyo but was diverted to Calabar where it landed.
