Max Air has assured customers that its international operations remain unaffected following the recent incident involving one of its aircraft in Kano.
The airline made this known on their official X account on Friday.
According to the airline, “Following the recent incident involving one of our aircraft in Kano, we wish to reassure our esteemed customers and stakeholders that our international operations remain unaffected.
“We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the disruption to our domestic services and appreciate our customers’ understanding and cooperation.
“We will continue to provide updates on the status of our domestic operations and appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.”
The PUNCH earlier reported how a Max Air aircraft with registration number 5N-MBD, carrying 53 passengers, suffered a tyre burst while attempting to land at the Kano airport.
However, all 53 passengers and crew were disembarked unhurt.
The incident occurred at about 10:57 p.m. after the aircraft arriving from Lagos lost its nose landing gear tyre during the landing process.
In a statement posted on its x handle, the airline stated that its crew members managed the situation professionally, ensuring the safe evacuation of all passengers and crew.
It said, “We wish to inform the public that one of our aircraft experienced an incident upon landing in Kano yesterday.”
The airline also noted that the Kano runway is temporarily closed for inspection and clearance, which could cause some delays in flight operations.
