United Nigeria Airlines has temporarily suspended all flight operations to and from Benin Airport following the closure of the airport’s runway by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria after an aircraft excursion incident.
The airline announced the suspension in a statement on Thursday, saying the disruption would remain in place until the runway is reopened. The development came hours after an Enugu Air aircraft veered off the runway after landing, prompting aviation authorities to shut the runway to facilitate recovery operations and safety assessments. The carrier apologised to affected passengers and urged them to contact customer service for rebooking assistance.
