Air Peace halts flight over bird strike
Authorities of Air Peace Airlines aborted a Lagos-bound flight over bird strike shortly before take-off in the early Thursday in Abuja.
Indeed, the bird strike led to a ramp return of the plane, which ensured the safety of passengers onboard.

A statement by Ejike Ndiulo, Air Peace’s head of corporate communications, explained that the bird strike occurred at 6:30 a.m., and all passengers disembarked normally.
According to the statement, “We wish to inform our esteemed passengers that our Abuja- Lagos 06:30 flight experienced a bird strike before take-off, prompting a ramp return as a safety measure. All passengers disembarked normally.
“We have deployed a replacement aircraft for the affected flight in order to minimize disruptions, thus ensuring that passengers continue their journeys promptly.
