Air Peace plane makes detour after mid-air ‘technical problems’

An Air Peace P47376 flight from Lagos to Kaduna made a detour to Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos after developing a technical problem about 30 minutes after takeoff.

The flight reportedly left Lagos airport a few minutes before 11am on Sunday, but as the trip progressed, the pilot announced that he could not continue with the trip to Kaduna due to some technical problems.

One of the passengers on the flight who spoke on condition of anonymity said that after landing safely in Lagos, passengers were asked to wait for the problem to be fixed.

“After waiting more than five hours, the airline announced that the problem could not be solved at that time. So now they changed our reservation to Kano, ”said the passenger.

Air Peace spokesman Stanley Olisa did not respond to a text message requesting his response on the matter. (NAN)
