The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has asked passengers to expect flight disruptions and delays following a Sunday morning flight incursion that occurred at the Harcourt International Airport runway.
The our source earlier reported how Air Peace aircraft, operating Flight P47190 from Lagos to Port Harcourt, experienced a runway excursion upon landing at the Port Harcourt Airport.
The airline’s spokesperson, Osifo-Whiskey Efe, told The PUNCH that aside from veering off the runway, all passengers and crew members disembarked unhurt from the aircraft.
The airline last recorded an incident in May 2025, when one of its aircraft collided with a large antelope on the runway at the Asaba airport. The impact decimated the animal but did not stop the aircraft from flying to Abuja.
In a statement, the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at FAAN, Obiageli Orah, said the evacuation of the 127 passengers was completed safely with no casualties.
She said, “Air Peace flight P47190, registration number 5N-BQQ, departed from Lagos and landed at Port Harcourt International Airport at approximately 0745 hours.”
