An Air Peace flight made an emergency landing at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) on Thursday in Lagos State, SaharaReporters has learnt from multiple sources.
The Air Peace aircraft with number 5NBVE, is one of the new flights to London, the United Kingdom.
“An Air Peace flight makes emergency landing in Lagos. The flight aircraft number is 5NBVE. It landed successfully but it was an emergency landing,” one of the sources said.
“It is not clear if the aircraft was leaving the airport or arriving. But the passengers are yet to be evacuated as of this time.”
“The fire service and other agencies have been deployed there. The aircraft stopped working at the spot where other aircrafts will need to maneuver,” another source confirmed to SaharaReporters.
The aviation sector is still grappling with the Dana Air incident which occurred days ago when its aircraft skidded off the runway and was grounded.
