On 15 October 2026 a Bombardier Challenger CL60 (registration T7‑SEI) operated by Triton Aviation lost a cabin door a few minutes after departing Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at about 4:17 p.m. UTC, three nautical miles from the runway and while climbing through roughly 3,000 feet.
The crew transmitted a Mayday call at 4:20 p.m. UTC; some reports say the aircraft was vectored back to Abuja for an emergency landing, while other reports state it continued to Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos and landed safely there.
The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau has deployed investigators to examine the detached door, the aircraft’s wreckage and maintenance records.
