On October 4, 2013, a Boeing 747-3 aircraft with Reg 5N-JRM, operated by Kabo airlines arrived safely with all passengers and crew on board, following a landing incident at the Sokoto airport at 2100 GMT.
The aircraft which departed from Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano was en route Saudi Arabia when it had a stop-over at the Sokoto airport for passenger pickup.
Preliminary reports indicate that the control tower gave the pilot clearance to land on Runway 08 but the captain, opted to use Runway 26, for reasons yet to be ascertained.
The 512 souls on board, made of 494 passengers and 18 crew members landed safely.
The aircraft however damaged some Instruments Landing System (ILS) and came to a stop with deflated tyres.
The FAAN emergency response apparatus acted swiftly to secure all souls on board and the aircraft.
The airline has since made arrangements for another aircraft to pick the passengers to complete their journey to Saudi Arabia.
