Wing of Emirates plane tears through another plane at Lagos airport (photo)

Last night, someone contacted me about an incident at our Lagos airport concerning an Emirates flight but I didn't fully understand what he wrote because his words were not clear. Then this morning, I received this photo from another eye-witness. This happened on the eastern taxi way at Murtala Muhammed airport Lagos. I don't know exactly the full gist (will find out and come back to you) but there was definitely an incident at the airport last night. The wing of an Emirates plane tore through a Hak-Air parked plane on taxi. I think international flights were landing and taking off at our domestic airport and that caused an accident last night..but no injuries recorded. See the email I got last night after the cut and see if you can make sense of what the guy was trying to say...


Dear Linda, due to some parking space and afro bridge step at international airport.... international flight touching ground at domestic and taking off..... 
Boeing 777 200 series registration number A6-Ewd of Emirates airline on taxi through local airport taxi and there is no proper monitor from the FAN. .. NAMA . ..NCAA and some other bodies of the Nigeria aviation industry and no mashalla as well... The flight crash on his taxi to run way just... The tail if the Emirates flight  crash a hak airline aircraft that was position at bale 12 that we do  all burial ground for air craft.
Just 10 mins now that the incident happen only NAMA  is herr and one official of Faan

Terribly written English! I weep for the Nigerian educational system. Anyways, what the unfortunate sod is trying to say is that due to parking and traffic constarints at the international airport, international flights were being cleared to land and take off from the domestic wing of the airport and consequently RW18L. This happens all the time. The major challenge however is taxiing to the runway as some abandoned planes have been parked, not so smartly, at the end of the General Aviatio terminal parking bay, with the tails of the aircrafts protruding onto the taxi way.
As a result of this, it is usual for planes to stay left of the centre line of the taxi way to avoid colliding with these parked planes. Especially for domestic airliners who are familiar with the situation.
It is not the same for foreign airliners who are more familiar with the international wing RW18R.
They should have been advised of this threat by the responsible aviation authority or issued a NOTAM to the effect.
In the same breadth, the right seat pilot should have been looking out his/her window and should have identified the threat.

It's an unfortunate deveopment but could have been avoided.

Dear Linda,

Due to some parking space problesm and "afro bridge step" at the International airport, International flights have been diverted to the domestic/local airport for take off and landing.

An Emirates Airline Boeing 777 200 series registration number A6-Ewd crashed it's wing through the Tail section of a HAK Airline Aircraft parked there at the domestic Airport. This happened because not a single aviation industry official(FAN/NAMA/NCAA)Anot even a Ground Marshal to guide the plane. This happened at bale 12, the aircraft graveyard(parking spot for decommisioned aircraft)

So finally, 10mins after the incident, just one NAMA official and a FAAN official have arrived to assess the situation.

I tell you! Such an annoying gibberish. I guess he meant Avio bridge, Marshaller. And at that particular phase of flight its only the contol tower that has dealings with the aircraft, so the writer's call out of NCAA, & FAAN is completely ignorant.

Thank God it wasn't beyond dat

Only in Naija? That's because Naija is the only place you'be been, because things like this, occurs more than you know. Go to NTSB and read of airport near misses and fatal accidents, even while aircraft is on ground. Then you will know it's not only in Naija. Don't be silly!

looking at the plane parked the aircraft should have been a lot further forward , yet another mistake at lagos why let a plane overhang its tail into an active taxiway , I hope Emirates Sue Lagos for its silly actions , its a real terror flying here , no wonder so many planes crash here , its so the country can claim Hull damage to Airbus , Boeing and airlines , they should ban this airport and rather land in san tome , the fuel there is also just as cheap

im sure there was no light at the airport
