There was panic at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, after two airplanes collided on Wednesday night.

Thelagostimes gathered that an Airbus A330-243 owned by Middle East Airlines with registration number OD-MEA, ran into a Boeing 777 airplane with registration number TC-LJC operated by Turkish Airlines.

The Middle East airbus ran into the Turkish cargo flight, which was parked at the international airport apron.

The Turkish cargo plane was said to be parked at the tarmac when the MEA airbus which was taxiing ran into it.

The plane had to disembark its passengers who were already on board.

Recall that earlier this week, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, spoke about the efforts of the federal government towards the resumption of international flights in the country.
