The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA) Abuja has been temporarily shut following an incident involving an Allied Air flight.
The aircraft reportedly experienced a tyre burst after the aircraft landed at the Abuja airport on Wednesday.
The aircraft is reportedly stuck near the runway after skidding off, forcing the airport to be shut pending when the plane would be towed.
A source at the NAIA, who spoke to our correspondent, said, “We are still at the air side at the moment where the incident happened and efforts are ongoing to reopen the runway.”
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 to the passengers even as emergency officials are on site.
