The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA)
said on Sunday that an IRS Airline aircraft
landed safely at the Kaduna airport after it
developed a fault in the air.
Capt. Fola Akinkuotu, Director-General of
the NCAA, made this known in a statement,
a copy of which was made available to the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ikeja.
Akinkuotu said that the pilot was able to
land the aircraft with registration number,
5N-HIR, even after he discovered that
hydraulic was leaking from one of its
engines.
He said that the authority
had directed the airline to
tow the aircraft to an apron, adding that
the Accident Investigation Prevention
Bureau (AIPB) had already begun an
investigation into the incident.
Akinkuotu, who cautioned Nigerians against
magnifying the incident, assured air
travellers of their safety.
NAN reports that the aircraft was on a
scheduled flight to Kaduna. (NAN)
