Air Peace Admits Windshield Crack On Landing At Abuja Airport

Air Peace said the windshield of its aircraft flying from Akure, the Ondo state capital, to Abuja cracked on landing at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

But the indigenous airline denied reports of unrest and a shattered windshield.

Air Peace made the clarification in response to reports about the windshield shattering on Air Peace Flight from Akure to Abuja.

The airline said on Tuesday that, “We would like to state clearly that there was no such ‘Panic event’ on the said flight. On the contrary, it was a smooth flight that landed safely without any abnormal event.

“The windshield had a crack on the outer layer of the front window of the First Officer’s side, which was discovered by the cockpit crew. On no account was the safety of the flight or safety of the passenger jeopardized in the process. This particular flight operated Normal from Akure to Abuja and landed safely in Abuja without any unsafe events or safety concerns.”

It explained that on landing at Abuja airport, the pilots did their normal workaround and reported the cracked outer layer of one of the windshield to the engineers who immediately commenced the replacement of the cracked windshield.

Air Peace added, “It is, however, wrong and unacceptable for people to peddle falsehood just to tarnish the image of the airline when, in actual fact, there was never any development that caused panic on the passengers of this flight. This is false, and such negative report should be discouraged and stopped immediately.

“Air Peace will never jeopardize the safety of its esteemed passengers and will continue to prioritize the highest standard of safety in its operations.”
