According to Flight Radar 24, the Max Air Boeing 777 took off from Bangor International Airport (BGR), US, at 9:08 AM UTC. The aircraft in Midway declared an emergency. Further, it diverted to Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca (CMN) at 3:06 PM UTC.
The aircraft is expected to land at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (KAN), but the plane diverted to CMN due to unknown circumstances.
The aircraft involved in the incident is the Boeing 777-200. Further, it has the registration 5N-BBN and is a 16.1-year-old aircraft.
