Passengers on Air Peace flight P47152 from Benin to Abuja narrowly avoided disaster on Monday when the aircraft returned shortly after takeoff because of a technical issue.

The flight departed at 12:50 PM but was compelled to turn back to Benin Airport as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of everyone onboard.

In an official statement, Dr. Ejike Nduilo, the airline’s Head of Corporate Communications, confirmed the incident, stressing that the decision to return was made with passenger safety as the top priority.

“We are committed to the highest safety standards and will not compromise on the well-being of our passengers,” he stated.

He noted that upon landing safely back in Benin, all passengers disembarked without incident.

According to Nduilo, “Our maintenance team is currently troubleshooting the cause of the issue,” Dr. Nduilo stated.

“We are dispatching a replacement aircraft to Benin to minimise disruptions and enable passengers to continue their journeys as soon as possible.”

He, however, extended an appeal for understanding from affected passengers and those facing delays and reiterated its commitment to maintaining high safety standards.
