Murtala Muhammed Airport Runway Closed After Landing Mishap
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) on Tuesday said it had temporarily closed runway 18R/36L at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos, for landing and taking off of flight.
Eko Hot Blog gathered that the agency announced the development in a tweet on its official Twitter page, @FAAN_Official.
FAAN said the closure of Murtala Muhammed Airport was due to a landing incident involving a Boeing 737 Azman Air aircraft with registration 5N SYS, and flight number ZQ2325, that had a tyre burst after landing on the runway.
It disclosed that all passengers and crew on board the aircraft were safely evacuated at 1908 hours, and officials of FAAN air rescue and fire fighting services, AIB and NAHCO are already working to ensure the aircraft is towed out of the runway, so as to restore normalcy.
