Air Peace and United Nigeria Airlines suspend their scheduled flights to and from Benin Airport following a runway closure ordered by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN). Multiple outlets report that the disruption follows an incident in which an aircraft veers off or runs off the runway, prompting FAAN to close the runway for safety and operational reasons. Air Peace announces that it suspends all flights to the airport, citing the temporary closure and stating that the decision affects its scheduled operations. Premium Times also reports that United Nigeria joins Air Peace in suspending services to and from Benin Airport. The suspension is described as temporary, linked directly to the runway being closed after the incident, and it disrupts airline schedules and passenger travel plans. No source provides a specific timeline for reopening the runway or resuming operations, but the airlines’ decisions are presented as reactive measures to the airport’s operational status under FAAN’s directive.
