A bird strike occurred during the landing of an Air Peace plane bound for Abuja on Saturday.
According to a statement from Air Peace management, the aircraft landed safely and passengers disembarked normally after taking off from Asaba, Delta state capital.
In order to accommodate customers whose flights were disrupted as a result of the incident, the airline said an arrangement had been made for another aircraft to operate on the rotation.
“This is to inform the flying public and our esteemed customers that our Asaba-Abuja flight- P47866- had a bird strike upon landing in Abuja today, Saturday, April 8, 2023,” the statement reads.
