There was pandemonium at the Muritala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, on Wednesday after an Airbus A330-243 owned by Middle East Airlines with registration number OD-MEA, collided with a Boeing 777 airplane with registration number TC-LJC operated by Turkish Airlines, at the international wing of the airport.
Africa Update gathered from sources at the airport that the Turkish cargo flight was parked at the international airport apron when the Middle East airbus ran into it , ripping off part of the empennage of the aircraft. The source said, “The MEA flight was taxiing when it happened. The MEA airbus, which had been boarding passengers since 12:00pm, had to disembark every passenger on board.”
