An aircraft passenger has revealed that the plane he boarded from Abuja to Benin city couldn’t land in Benin airport due to power outage at the airport.
The runway lights were off at the point the plane was suppose to land

A friend of mine was on that plane and described the terrifying ordeal when the Pilot attempted to risk landing the plane without the run way lights.

The passenger didn’t shy away from expressing his displeasure at the unfortunate incident while also taking swipe at the state of the nation.

No. All domestic flights are mandated to carry enough fuel to return and hold for at least another 30 minutes where necessary.

ecolime:
No generator to power their ILS?

Don't worry Tinubu aka City Boy aka Youngest aspirant is coming to fix it.

julybaba:
What A Intelligent Pilot. It is better to fly back than risk landing the plane.

BIG LIE!!

It’s mind-boggling the extent to which some people go just to garner social media attention.

The air peace flight in question returned to Abuja due to weather-induced poor visibility — and NOT lack of light.

Heavy rains have been falling in Benin over the last few days. On that very same day, a Max Air flight did a flyover because of same poor visibility issues.

The pilot hovered around Benin airspace in a holding pattern until visibility was better. Then he landed.

So I don’t know how that passenger came up with his “no light” story.

For one, when seated in the fuselage and the plane has aligned with the runway for landing, you can’t see the runway. So how can you know if the runway lights are on or not?

For two, Benin airport runway lights are solar powered.

This passenger’s claim is proof that you shouldn’t believe everything you read on social media.

You guys just come here and write trash. Although I didn't watch the YouTube video you attached but your write-up and accompanying photo do not tally. An SMS from Air Peace saying a flight has been cancelled due to low visibility and therefore rescheduled, coupled with a write up saying there was power outage, please how do they correspond? A lot of things can cause low visibility, like bad weather, right?

MODIFICATION

Did I also forget to mention that he said a friend of his was on the plane and was pissed at the incident? I mean, a plane of a flight that hasn't even happened yet judging from the attached photograph, which clearly states that the flight scheduled for 16th June has been rescheduled to 17th June.

The story and write up just sounds like gibberish.

Intelligent kor
they shout for him head before he brain reset, he actually wanted to Land the Plane

Una never see something.. vote them into Power again and watch airports turn to event centers and mini swimming pools

Hey he got a point, a decent plane should have landing lights. The pilot is incompetent.

ppogba:


Your comment and logic will be valid if you are a trained pilot.
