Lagos-Bound Air Peace Flight Grounded After Bird Strike (Video) by Man102(op): 8:55am On Nov 14, 2024
An Air Peace flight bound for Lagos was on Thursday morning abruptly grounded due to a bird strike at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.

The flight, scheduled to depart at 6:30 a.m., was taxied on the runway and ready for takeoff when the unexpected incident occurred.

Lagos-based human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, who was on board, took to his social media handle to recount the experience.

He said, “While taxing on the runway and just before takeoff, our Air Peace flight from Abuja to Lagos scheduled for 6:30 AM today was stopped forcefully, resulting in panic and screams by some passengers.

“The captain attributed the incident to a bird strike. We have been deboarded to await either a replacement or repair of the aircraft.

“Thankfully, whatever happened did not occur after takeoff. It would have been scarier.”

Birds don strike? Why
Is it because of cost of food or petrol?

Some other airports use Falcons to chase birds away in regions where this happens more often, I’d never heard of a bird strike in Nigeria. Maybe I’m not all that informed

It's quite unfortunate a lot of us use social media without common sense. That so called Lawyer for just try find meaning of bird strike to know if it's worth making noise or just being matured about.

Re: Lagos-Bound Air Peace Flight Grounded After Bird Strike (Video) by Clazzone(m): 12:02pm On Nov 14, 2024
... and you are quick to believe it was a bird strike at 6:30 am. There is something these people are hiding. Perhaps, fuel or engine problem. Time will tell
