Air Peace said a bird strike disrupted its Lagos-Port Harcourt on Thursday.
A bird strike is a collision between a bird and an aircraft which is in flight or on a takeoff or landing roll.
In a statement, Osifo -Whiskey Efe, the airline’s spokesperson, said the Lagos to Port Harcourt flight experienced a bird strike on Thursday morning on arrival at the Port Harcourt international airport.
“This has necessitated checks on the affected aircraft and the deployment of another aircraft to convey passengers of subsequent flights on our network,” the company said.
Air Peace empathised with the passengers affected by the incident, noting that efforts were ongoing to minimise disruptions.
On November 24, 2024, the airline’s Lagos-bound flight was disrupted by a bird strike shortly before takeoff in Abuja.
