An aircraft being operated by the Flybird Aircraft Management Services Ltd has crash-landed at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA), Kano state.
Reports by NAN said the Abuja-Kano flight, with registration number 5N-ISB, crash-landed on Sunday morning.
In a statement by Flybird’s corporate communications department, the firm stated that all 11 passengers and crew members onboard were uninjured and safely disembarked from the flight.
Flybird noted that the flight crew followed all established operational and safety procedures, bringing the aircraft to a safe stop.
“The aircraft has been secured, and the incident has been formally reported to the relevant aviation authorities,” the statement reads.
“A detailed technical inspection and investigation are ongoing in line with regulatory requirements.
“Flybird Aircraft Management Services reiterates its commitment to safety and operational excellence.”
Flybird Aircraft, a non-scheduled operator based in Abuja, received the air operator certificate (AOC) from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) in June 2024.
Seven months after, Flybird’s Accra-bound aircraft was involved in an incident that led to the loss of two engines mid-air.
