In a statement by the Bureau’s spokesman, Mr. Tunji Oketunbi to confirm the incident, the AIB says the aircraft with registration Marks 5N-IHS operated by JED Air Limited, occurred around 9:35am today beside Bristow Hangar 3 at GAT Apron, Airport

According to the AIB, the aircraft collided with the apron wall while taxiing to reposition for ground run.
