The management of MaxAir has pledged to cooperate with all the relevant aviation authorities in the investigation of the cause of engine failure of one of its aircraft at the Maiduguri International Airport yesterday.
Recall that the airline’s Flight VM1623 marked 5N-BBM made an air return due to an observed abnormality in the engine during take-off, prompting the captain to abort the flight and return to the airport.
“Following standard operational procedures, the affected engine was shut down, and the aircraft landed safely. All passengers and crew members remained unharmed.
“In line with MaxAir’s commitment to passenger safety and comfort, a rescue aircraft was promptly dispatched to Maiduguri to ensure passengers reached their destinations with minimal delay.
“We deeply regret any inconvenience caused and sincerely appreciate the patience and cooperation of all affected passengers.
“MaxAir is working closely with aviation authorities to investigate the cause of the engine abnormality.
“As a leading airline in Nigeria, we remain committed to upholding the highest safety and operational standards, ensuring the trust and confidence of our valued passengers,” the airline said in a statement.
