Bird strike: Air Peace flight makes emergency landing in Lagos
Due to a bird strike, an Air Peace flight with a destination of Owerri made an emergency landing in Lagos on Saturday.

A bird strike occurs when a bird collides with an aircraft while it is in flight, on takeoff, or during a landing roll.

A statement from Air Peace's management indicates that the flight from Lagos to Owerri took off at midday.

The bird hit prevented the plane, which was headed for Owerri, from landing, and it had to return to Lagos for an emergency landing.

The passengers disembarked without incident, the airline continued.

“This is to inform the flying public and our esteemed customers that Air Peace flight P47154, which departed Lagos at 12:00hrs today, August 27, 2022, for Owerri, could not land due to a bird strike that got the bird stuck on the left main landing gear,” the statement reads.

“The strike affected the operating parameters of the landing gear which made the pilots follow regulatory safety procedures by returning to Lagos where they landed the aircraft safely without any incident.

“Passengers disembarked normally and another aircraft has been deployed to operate the flight.

“We apologise for the inconveniences caused to all passengers affected by this situation and be assured of our strict compliance with established safety standards.”
