Air Peace, Nigeria’s largest airline, reported today that its Flight P47190 from Lagos experienced a runway excursion upon landing at Port Harcourt International Airport.
A runway excursion occurs when an aircraft unintentionally veers off or overruns the designated runway during takeoff or landing.
According to airline spokesperson Mr. Osifo-whiskey Efe, the aircraft “veered slightly off the runway without any damage.”
He also confirmed that all passengers disembarked safely and calmly, with no injuries reported.
He said: “We reassure the flying public of our unflinching commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety in all our operations.”
Meanwhile, the incident occurred about seven months after an Allied Air aircraft also experienced a runway excursion.
Persecondnews recalls that on December 11, 2024, a cargo aircraft, a Boeing 737-400 (5N-JRT) operated by Allied Air, experienced a runway excursion at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
The aircraft, Flight AJK206 from Lagos, veered off the right side of Runway 22 after landing, coming to a stop on the grass.
