Nigeria’s major carrier, Air Peace has commended Captain Simisola Ajibola who operated Boeing B737-300 with registration number 5N0BQO that performed the P4-7191 from Port Harcourt to Lagos on July 23, 2019.
The airline commended Captain Ajibola for her effective handling of the flight under adverse weather, which prompted her to request to land at the Runway 18R, when she noticed sudden weather changes when approaching Lagos.
Runway 18R is the International runway, which is longer and wider than the domestic runway.
After landing safely and rolling to the runway exit, the aircraft suffered a hard touch down causing both nose wheels to separate from the nose gear strut.
The crew notified the airport authorities which quickly ensured the safe disembarkation of the passengers via the passenger door.
We are committed to the safety of our passengers at all time. We will continue to operate in line with international practices and in accordance with regulatory guidelines. We are being assisted by the various authorities to determine to cause of the incident.
