After developing a fault mid-flight, an Aero Contractors flight bound for Port Harcourt returned to Abuja for an emergency landing on Wednesday.
According to reports, panic erupted among passengers when the pilot announced that one of the plane’s engines was malfunctioning.
A passenger on the plane told Leadership that the plane took off around 8:40 a.m., but a few minutes later, the pilot announced that he needed to return to Abuja.
According to the passenger, those on board did not realise the severity of the plane’s technical problems until it was nearly impossible for the pilot to land safely in Abuja.
We later realised that the engine had serious issues like hydraulic leakage or something like that. It was terrifying. Many people on board started crying and saying their last prayers. But we managed to land back in Abuja despite the difficulty encountered, the passenger narrated.
