The Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) Nigeria has launched a probe into a Bell 429 helicopter crash that occurred at Bauchi Airport. The helicopter, owned and operated by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), crashed Wednesday night with its six occupants severely injured. The aircraft was involved in a controlled safe landing at the Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa International Airport, Bauchi, and none of the occupants sustained any injury. The AIB is seeking any video clips, evidence, or information on the accident that could assist the investigation. Meanwhile, hazy weather disrupted flight schedules at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano, leading to the early airlift of passengers on Azman Air, Max Air and a few chartered flights.
