An Arik Air Boeing 737-700 (5N-MJI) struck the wing tip tank of a Lockheed C-130 Hercules of the Nigerian Air Force while taxying past.
The Arik Air flight, W3-202, was taxying to the runway for a flight to Lagos. The C-130 (NAF 917) was in Jos to airlift students of the Air Force Military School and the Air Force Girls Military School.
The winglet of the 737 reportedly broke off.
5N-MJI was later flown to Malta in 2013 and stored there along with other Arik Air planes. The other aircraft later resumed service, while MJI was broken up in 2020.
