Crash averted on Ilorin-Lagos route -Overland Airways

The nation would have witnessed yet another mishap days after a helicopter crash that claimed the lives of former Kaduna governor Patrick Yakowa, former National Security Adviser, General Andrew Azazi, and four others last Saturday in Bayelsa State.

According to Sahara reporters, a passenger on the flight described an unusually turbulent take off, the aircraft wobbling its way into Murtala Muhammad Airport with its landing gear hanging dangerously out of its belly throughout the flight.
 The company claims to operate “a fleet of well-maintained Beechcraft 1900D, ATR 42-320 and ATR 72 aircraft operating non-scheduled and scheduled flights to various destinations in Nigeria, West and Central Africa.

Overland Airways, which has been in business since 2003, is linked to the Bauchi state governor, Isa Yuguda.  It has yet to make a comment on last Sunday’s flight experience.
