What would have been a major disaster for Nigeria’s aviation sector was averted yesterday, July 22, 2014 after a fire that broke out at the Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano.


 Men of the fire service were quick to arrest the fire but the fuel tanker was completely burnt while the one of the aircraft’s wings was damaged.

The fire reportedly started from a fuel tanker which was feeding an aircraft belonging to Turkish Airlines.

The Istanbul bound flight, an Airbus 340, was cancelled leaving many passengers who had prepared to board disappointed.

In April, a mysterious fire broke out at the control tower of the same airport and the cause of the fire is yet to be made public.
