Air Peace, a Nigerian airline, says its flight heading to Abuja from Benin could not continue the trip due to a technical snag the aircraft encountered shortly after takeoff.
Ejike Nduilo, head of corporate communications, spoke in a
notice in Lagos on Monday.
According to Nduilo, the 12:50pm flight returned to Benin
due to necessary safety measures.
He said the aircraft landed in Benin, while passengers
disembarked normally.
The airline spokesperson also said an alternative aircraft
was made available to avoid disruptions.
“Our maintenance team
are currently troubleshooting the cause of the snag,” Nduilo said.
“We are deploying replacement aircraft to Benin for us to
minimise the disruptions and ensure passengers continue their journeys as soon
as possible.
“We appeal for
understanding of the passengers affected and others whose flights will be
delayed as a result of this unforeseen development.”
Air Peace said it remained committed to upholding safety
standards.
On May 30, Air Peace discontinued one of its foreign trips
due to a low-pressure tyre.
The aircraft which was in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, disrupted
flights bound for Gambia and Senegal.
On April 25, Air Peace said its Port Harcourt-Lagos flight
landed at the destination airport earlier than scheduled, following a presumed
fire incident on the aircraft.
