Coordinating Spokesperson of Aviation Parastatals, Yakubu Dati has confirmed that the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority and the Accident Investigation and Prevention Bureau “have already commenced investigation to ascertain the emergency landing of a Medview aircraft which took off from Lagos today.
The aircraft, a Boeing 737, with Registration No 5NBPB, took off at 9:12am from Lagos and made a return to its departure point in Lagos midair. It landed in Lagos as emergency measure at about 9.17am today.
The return journey to Lagos and emergency landing was however described by experts as “precautionary.”
The aircraft had 104 persons on board. This was made up of 99 passengers and five crew members.
In a statement today, Yakubu Dati said that the authorities would determine “the cause of the air return” by the aircraft, though there was no casualty.
He called on the general public, especially aviation stakeholders, to resist what he called the urge to sensationalise an incident that is already under control.
“We remain committed to a safe and secure aviation sector.”
