Nigerian Investigators Probe Challenger Door Separation
The jet landed safely at Abuja with nine people on board

The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) is trying to find out how a Bombardier Challenger 604 lost its main cabin door shortly after takeoff from the capital Abuja on Thursday. The jet, with nine people on board headed to Lagos, landed safely at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (DNAA).

The 22-year-old Challenger (T7-SEI) appears to be registered in San Marino to Empire Aviation, and operated by Triton Aviation. Neither company has yet responded to requests by AIN to provide more details about the incident.
