An aircraft belonging to Nigeria’s Air Peace, experienced a runway excursion upon landing at the Port Harcourt International Airport.
The operating Flight P47190, which left Lagos with passengers to Port Harcourt, skidded off while landing on Sunday morning, July 13, 2025.
In aviation, a runway excursion is an incident where an aircraft veers off or overruns the runway surface during takeoff or landing.
Spokesperson for the airline, Mr Osifo-whiskey Efe, in a statement, however, said the aircraft veered slightly off the runway without any damage.
Efe also stated that all passengers disembarked safely and calmly without any injury.
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.
