The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has advised air travellers to plan for flight delays to Port Harcourt following an incident involving an Air Peace aircraft.
The FAAN issued the advisory in a statement on Sunday, signed by Obiageli Orah, director of public affairs and consumer protection.
An Air Peace plane, on Sunday morning, reportedly veered off the runway after landing at the Port Harcourt International Airport.
The airline, in a statement, said all passengers disembarked safely, with no injuries recorded.
Speaking on the development, the FAAN said flight P47190, with registration number 5N-BQQ, took off from Lagos and arrived at the Port Harcourt International Airport around 7:45 am.
“The aircraft overshot runway 03 upon landing. We are relieved to report that there were no casualties,” the authority said.
“Evacuation of the 127 passengers has been completed safely with no casualties.
“In the interim, please plan for flight delays for any departing flights to Port Harcourt.”
The FAAN said additional information would be shared as it becomes available, while reaffirming its commitment to ensuring passenger safety and security.
