The management of Air Peace has disproved the report that the windscreen of its aircraft operating from Akure to Abuja shattered on landing at the airport.
The airline said in a statement on Tuesday that the flight recorded no incident from the time it took off from the Akure Airport to when it finally touched down at the airport in Abuja.
The airline said the windshield only had a crack on the outer layer of the front window of the first officer’s side, which was discovered by the cockpit crew.
“We would like to state clearly that there was no such “panic event” on the said flight. On the contrary, it was a smooth flight that landed safely without any abnormal event. The windshield had a crack on the outer layer of the front window of the First Officer’s side, which was discovered by the cockpit crew.
“On no account was the safety of the flight or safety of the passenger jeopardized in the process. This particular flight operated normal from Akure to Abuja and landed safely in Abuja without any unsafe events or safety concerns.
“On landing Abuja airport, the pilots did their normal workaround and reported the cracked outer layer of one of the windshield to the engineers who immediately commenced the replacement of the cracked windshield.
“It is, however, wrong and unacceptable for people to peddle falsehood just to tarnish the image of the airline when, in actual fact, there was never any development that caused panic on the passengers of this flight. This is false, and such negative report should be discouraged and stopped immediately.
“Air Peace will never jeopardize the safety of its esteemed passengers and will continue to prioritize the highest standard of safety in its operations,” the statement said.
