The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) has initiated an inquiry into a critical incident involving a Fly Bird HS 125 aircraft registered as 5NKAL.

The aircraft was en route from Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja (DNAA) to Kotoka International Airport in Accra (DGAA) when it encountered technical issues on December 6, 2024. Reports indicate that both engines failed during the flight, prompting the crew to return to Abuja.

Mrs Bimbo Olawumi Oladeji, the Director of Public Affairs and Family Assistance at NSIB confirmed the occurrence in a statement released on Sunday. Initial findings revealed that the aircraft, carrying four individuals—three crew members and one passenger—was climbing through flight level 240 towards flight level 280 when the crew reported an issue with engine number 2.

At approximately 17:54 UTC, located about 25 nautical miles southwest of the VOR station VONUK, the crew requested to divert back to Abuja due to the engine indication problem. This request was quickly approved, and the aircraft was cleared to descend to flight level 190.

Preliminary reports indicate that engine No. 2 failed at flight level 230 during the descent. The crew decided to return to Abuja, and upon nearing Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at around 5,000 feet, they declared a Mayday, indicating the loss of Engine No. 1.
