An Allied Air Cargo aircraft with registration number 5N-JRT suffered a tyre burst causing it to skid the Runway 22 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Wednesday.

As a result, the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria has temporarily shut down the runway following the incident.

The plane, arriving in Abuja, was involved in the incident upon landing while all passengers and crew members were safely evacuated.

The incident was said to have caused significant disruptions, with several departures delayed as authorities work to clear the affected runway.

However, there were no injuries nor death records even as emergency officials immediately took over the site.

A press statement signed on Wednesday, by FAAN Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Obiageli Orah, confirmed the incident.

Orah stated, “At 10:05 am on December 11, 2024, an Allied Air Cargo aircraft with registration number 5N-JRT skidded off Runway 22 at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja with five souls on board with no reported injury. They were all safely evacuated and taken to the FAN clinic for further checks.

“The Airport Emergency response team is on the scene along with accident investigators. The runway is being cleared and is expected to reopen for operations as soon as possible.”

FAAN however appreciated the aviation community and the general public for their understanding and patience.
