An Air Peace aircraft, operating Flight P47190 from Lagos to Port Harcourt, experienced a runway excursion at Port Harcourt International Airport on Sunday morning.
The incident occurred shortly after the plane landed safely, with the aircraft veering slightly off the runway, according to a statement from the airline.
Air Peace spokesperson Osifo-Whiskey Efe confirmed the incident, stating, “Flight P47190, operating from Lagos to Port Harcourt this morning, had a runway excursion after landing safely at the Port Harcourt International Airport. The aircraft veered slightly off the runway without any damage.”
All passengers disembarked safely and calmly, with no injuries reported, the airline added.
The airline also reassured the public of its dedication to operational safety.
“We reassure the flying public of our unflinching commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety in all our operations,” the statement concluded.
This comes after an Air Peace aircraft was grounded at the Asaba International Airport in Delta State in May after it collided with a large antelope while taxiing on the runway.
The impact decimated the animal and rendered the aircraft on the ground, causing flight disruptions.
