Tragedy
was averted this morning after a Saudi-bound flight of Kabo Air made an
emergency landing at the Sir Abubakar airport because its tires
exploded just after take off.
The Boeing 747 jumbo jet left Kano on Friday en route to Saudi Arabia but had to divert to Sokoto when the incident happened.
All the passengers aboard the airline had been successfully evacuated from the plane and lodged in a hotel in the state.
This
is coming barely 72 hours after an Embraer aircraft belonging to
Associated Airlines with registration number 5N-BIT crashed in Lagos
shortly after take-off from the Murtala Muhammed Airport.
