An Abuja-bound Max Air flight made an emergency landing at Maiduguri’s Muhammadu Buhari International Airport on Wednesday after one of its engines caught fire just 10 minutes after takeoff.

The incident, which was caused by a suspected bird strike, left over 100 passengers, including Borno State deputy governor, Umar Usman Kadafur, shaken but unharmed.

According to reports from Zagazola Makama, a counterinsurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, a bird strike severely damaged one of the aircraft’s engines. The pilot acted swiftly, safely returning the plane to the airport without any injuries reported.

“Bird strikes are a known risk in aviation, especially during takeoff and landing phases,” Zagazola Makama explained. He urged airlines to conduct regular wildlife hazard assessments and implement bird control measures around airports to mitigate such incidents.

An unnamed airline official confirmed that engineers from Kano have been deployed to assess and repair the damaged aircraft. Another Max Air plane was dispatched from Lagos to ferry the passengers to Abuja, ensuring minimal disruption to their travel plans.
