The denial was contained in a statement yesterday by the airlines' secretary, Shehu Wada.
It said, "As against the wide spread that the Boeing 747 belonging to Max Air Ltd carrying over 500 pilgrims from Jeddah crash landed in Kano, the management hereby release detail of the occurrence.
"DBM one of the Max Air Ltd Aircraft carrying 511 Adamawa State Pilgrims from Jeddah scheduled to land at Yola Airport was denied access at the airport because of some technical issues experienced by the Airport at night. Thus, the Aircraft had to make a detour to the Aminu Kano International Airport Kano.
"However while taxing, the airplane lost 4 of its tyres and with the wealth of experience of our pilot (a FAA rated), he was able to bring the plane to a halt with minimal damage on the rims of the aircraft. The rims damaged have been replaced by our experts from GMF Garuda and the Aircraft is back to shape.
"We are using this medium to further pledge our commitment for optimal safety."
