Lagos, involving a Turkish Airline aircraft and a Max Air plane. The Turkish
Airline plane wings collided with that of Max Air plane which had brought in

wings brushed an Airforce jet parked at the apron when the plane was taxiing to
stop. There was also no casualty in the incident but only damages to both
planes.
