An Enugu Air aircraft veered off the runway after landing at Benin Airport in Edo State on Thursday, triggering an emergency response but leaving all passengers and crew members unharmed. The airline confirmed that everyone on board was safely evacuated and that no injuries or fatalities were recorded.
The incident, described as a runway excursion, involved an Embraer E170 operating Flight 4264. Aviation authorities quickly secured the aircraft, while the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) launched an investigation to determine the cause of the occurrence. The temporary disruption is expected to affect some flight schedules, with Enugu Air saying affected passengers will be contacted and assisted.
Enugu Air reassured the public that it is cooperating fully with investigators and remains committed to the highest safety standards. The airline said further updates would be provided as the investigation progresses, while normal operations are expected to resume once the aircraft is recovered and airport authorities complete the necessary assessments.
