Turkish Airline plane wings collided with that of Max Air plane which had

was taxiing to stop at the airport's apron when its wing collided with that of
Max Air.

An online newspaper said the Spokesman, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority,
Mr. Fan Ndubuoke, confirmed the incident. He however said damages to the
