An incident involving Medview Airlines Boeing 747-400 plane at the Lagos airport on Friday 21 September 2012 disrupted the airlift of Muslim pilgrims to Saudi Arabia.
A fork lift belonging to the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc was said to have collided with the Medview plane at the airport apron, causing a substantial damage to the aircraft.
The incident, it was learnt, forced the management of the airline to cancel the planned airlift of its second batch of 500 pilgrims to the Holy Land.
