Air Peace is grounding an aircraft following a bird strike at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport. The incident involves an Air Peace plane operating a scheduled route from Abuja to Kano. According to statements by the airline, the aircraft experiences the bird strike after arrival and is withdrawn from service in line with aviation safety procedures.
The airline says it takes the step to ensure the aircraft is checked and handled appropriately before returning to operations. To reduce passenger inconvenience, Air Peace deploys an alternative aircraft to continue the affected service, aiming to minimise disruption and help passengers reach their destinations safely. The airline’s announcement is made publicly on Wednesday.
Both reports describe the same core sequence: the bird strike occurs at Kano airport, the aircraft is removed from service as a precaution, and an alternative aircraft is used to continue the scheduled travel plans. The outlets do not provide details on injuries, damage assessment, or the number of passengers affected.
