A Port Harcourt-bound Aero Contractors aircraft, on Wednesday, developed hydraulic leakage fault mid-air, compelling it to return to Abuja for emergency landing.
A passenger on the plane disclosed that the aircraft took off about 8:40 am but that a few minutes into the flight, the pilot announced he had to return to Abuja.
The passenger said those on board didn’t understand the gravity of the technical issues the plane encountered until it was almost 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 in Abuja despite the difficulty encountered,” the passenger narrated.
