Med View Airline at about 2PM on Sunday made an emergency air return to Lagos after the second engine of the plane failed.



The Flight 214 airline, a Boeing 737-400 series marked 5N-BPA with 74 passengers on board made a return mid-air when the pilot heard a loud bang.

There was immediate loss of thrust on same engine and as a precautionary measure the pilot made a return.

The plane landed safely with one engine and the passengers were thereafter transferred to another of the airline’s aircraft, a Boeing 737-80 series and flown to Abuja safely.

The new airline commenced operations on Nigeria’s domestic routes in November 2012.
