Aero Contractors make emergency landing at MM2 (photos)

An emergency landing happened this evening at MM2 airport wing with the Aero flight NG127. According to a passenger, one of the wings of the plane tore apart just few minutes after take off. The plane had to go on an emergency landing back to Lagos. On landing, the pilot announced that one of the wheels has also been lost. It couldn't move further from the run way so buses came to pick the passengers from the runway
"A passenger detected that the wing of the flight was damaged and alerted a hostess. The pilot lost control, but thank God we landed safely." a passenger told LIB. See more pics after the cut...

    As an aviation person myself, I'll say this is too much. If a wheel was lost, there should be fire around the airplane from screeching, so I don't believe that. Lost/torn wing? Are they doing maintenance checks of these aircraft at all? My first thought is missing rivets or corrosion issue. The NCAA should ground all Aero Contractors flight for safety reasons. Letting them fly is endangering the lives of passengers.

      @NCAA grounding all aero flights, I strongly disagree with you. I thought you said you're an aviation person? What should be the basis of grounding? Don't you know how most passengers can exaggerate? Maybe you should ask your colleagues in the cabin. Let's wait, the full truth will be out soon cos even if the airline decides to tone down what happened, NCAA won't. Don't make me believe your suggestion as per grounding is out of beef o!

      Hello please can I ask u a question and please I want precise answers. When u loose a tyre on finals what do u do? Take off or abort landing and run into d road and go ahead and kill people, please answer mi.The Captain lost a tyre just on his last taxi meter before take off, d best he could do is what he did take off make a turn and land, opposite him wus Total,Mobil tank oil pipe installations and d perimeter fence of d airport, if he had aborted d it @ d point of no return on d run way dis is not what we will b saying Mr.Aviation personel.D debris of d trye is what hit d d wings and please if d wings where broken as d passenger stated d plane would ve skinned mid air into take off, obviously d flaps being retracted is what wus seen to suggest. D wings where damaged, if ur wings r damaged u won't b able to turn and realign and land.We should thank God that d Pilot remembered his procedures, if he had decided to go d way of d associated Pilot and Dana Pilot then we could ve comfortably blame d airline.Also tyres can burst @ anytime as a result of pressure, foreign objects on d runway, heat, manufactures error, negligence on d part of airline, captain or technical crew,anything can lead to this so please tell mi if d Pilot lost control of his procedure and d plane please can u tell us how d plane landed.As much flights r meant to b pleasurable without hiccups when issues like dis happen if it is managed properly we should applaud where to applaud and criticise where to criticise being subjective in judgement will not help. Emirate had d same issue last year @ d international wing of Murtala Muhammed airport last year nobody said anything, now an indigenous airline with over 53 yrs of safety track record of no crash has an incident that wus professionally managed so as to lead to lost of lives and properties u come and say NCAA should ground Aero haba Mr Aviation person take m easy, as much as it's not a pleasurable experience to have passengers go through such experience, what happened to flying ur passengers safely.Dats just what d pilot has exhibited today he to doesn't want to die now.Now it's high d Government as a matter of urgency convey a meeting with all d airlines that r under d government through AMCON to implement a blueprint that will enhance d operations of d airlines in Nigeria, This airlines should b given credit for operating under hash government policies over d years and as such should b aided before we witness another liquidation of airlines thereby leading to Job loss.

      To the two Anons, I still hold my stance on grounding the aircraft until there is investigation done to know what led to the damaged wings.
      I'm not a pilot just an engineer but I would have done a RTO ( rejected takeoff) at landing. My option would have been to land on the belly of my aircraft than to snap the landing gear of the aircraft and damaged the aircraft extensively. Either landing method would damage the aircraft. I still maintain a missing rivet could have caused the aircraft skin to rip based on the passengers comments. I also do agree the pilot did an excellent job landing the aircraft without the aircraft bursting in flame from friction. With a hard landing surface. Saving jobs or saving passengers, let's be careful where we lean, in an attempt to save a company.

      U don't reject ur take off on finals when d consequences is grave, also u take into consideration d length of d aircraft and what lies ahead of u should u abort ur take off. This aircraft in question from the picture should b a 400 series,and also what do u have around ur run way in lagos on both sides houses, encroachment that can b fatal and hazardous should he ve aborted his take of on his finals,Two r u aware dat d fire fighters where already aware of his coming back to land after he had communicated with ATC his situation @ dat time, u r an engineer u talk about belly landing when u don't even know whether his front landing gear had collapsed fully to suggest he should belly land.Am sure d surface of the run way must ve being made wet by fire service to suggest he could land, from d pix his nose wheel did not collapse to suggest he should belly land.Now for d damaged wing, there is no way a Pilot will fly with a cracked or broken wing, it's obvious it's d debris of d tyre contisderiang which of d landing gears that for burst that cracked d wings,And as regards one of their planes being involved in a cash in their safety record, non If u r referring to d Jos incident 4 years ago, by our standard and ratings that is not a crash, the aircraft landed and went of d run way in Jos only for d Pilot to b able to bring d aircraft back to run way without damaging anything major other than engine panel, Crashes are measured by the degree of outcomes surrounding it this particular did not meet the requirements to b termed a crash d aircraft landed normally but due to heavy rain and poor aircraft facilities @ d Jos airport it went of course but wus properly managed back into d run way.As concerned as u r Mr Engineer ,we in d investigation unit r equally concerned but in investigation we d joy is when an aircraft has problems like dis and it doesn't lead to a crash then u can comfortably extract d much needed information from d living and not d dead to b able to make findings and recommendation.We where so happy d Pilot adhered to d SOP of his company as contained in d ICAO act guiding SOP's in Take off and Landing Sequence,we r equally happy that it shows that Nigerian Pilots when they go to seem they bring back all they ve learnt in their SIM classes it will interest u that d whole of last year this wus the procedure virtually very Pilot flying in NIgeria wus made to undergo in their flight simulation class.Once again I sympathise with d entire passengers and even d airline it's self d cockpit crew and cabin crew, but we should thank God, God gave d Captain the bravura to act right on dis occasion. The Captain dis save both lives and jobs, so let the government come in with d right investors to save d industry.Have a nice day Sir

    Funny when things happen, unenlightened people make certain comments. How did Mr anonymous know airplane was not serviced? How is an airplane serviced. Lol. Opportunity for some to advertise air peace which was set up by mama peace with our stolen money. FYI only aero and arik have maintenance hangars of them all and besides your so called air peace use same b737 500 as aero. They even changed the tips of the wing to the more recent winglet type to deceive people with little understanding like you. The fact that aero has over 50 years safety record should make you commend them and read though comments without bias.

    Just like the tyre of your car can pick up an object or develop any kind of fault, same can happen to that of an aircraft. If this happens on the final take off roll, an expert pilot will take off, go around and come back to land. Considering the weight of the airplane, this would make the tyre burst as a result of impact which leads to debris being seen. If the aircraft wing was indeed damaged, there will be fire as the wings houses the fuel. Let's always get the facts right and commend the aviators for surviving very hash conditions.

    I was on board th‎e flight and must confess it was chaotic. As a frequent flyer and one with some form of understanding of the dynamics. I knew if it was going to happen, we will be briefed of a crash landing NOT precautionary landing. The calmness in the briefing and the look on the face of the cabin crew told me there wouldn't be the sort of emergency that would lead to death, explosion or rapid disembarkation using a slide or the over wing exit. As far as a stair was used, it's an indication that the situation wasn't as bad as being bandied around. It is important that we as travellers educate ourselves more on what to watch out for when we fly. Aircraft serviceability is dependent on engine cycles and if properly maintained can be operated for years and when it's time to remove them from the system, Boeing does have a record of all their manufactured aircrafts flying and their state. Go to the US and Europe they still fly aircrafts older than the ones we have here within their countries. Emirates had the same tyre issues last year here in Nigeria, no one called for their grounding. What about the Malaysian airplane that disappeared? Isn't it new generation plane? The french one that crashed... how about that? We ‎have some of the best crew in the world and our airlines especially aero isn't doing badly. LET'S ALWAYS GET THE FACTS RIGHT AND MAY GOD CONTINUE TO MAKE OUR SKIES SAFE!

    They should ban the use of second hand planes or at least put a year limit to the ones one can use, cos we are talking about planes here not cars!

    I was in this flight NG127 it wasn't funny i never believed we would land safely at all. I looked into my innocent baby's eyes I wept cos I brought him in. But thank God. The wing broke partly and when we landed the wheel broke. The plane vibrated so much like it was tearing apart. In all I thank God.
