FAAN Apologizes To Airline, Passengers As Cows Invade Akure Airport

 
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has made an apology to Air Peace Airlines and its passengers for a runway incursion incident that prevented an Akure airport bound flight from landing for some minutes.
Cows were said to have invaded the runway on Saturday, preventing the aircraft from landing for some minutes.
However, shortly after, normalcy was restored and the aircraft was able to land safely.
The agency which lists safety, security and comfort as its core values, therefore, pleaded with the passengers and assured the general public that there would be no recurrence of such.
A statement signed by the General Manager, Corporate Affairs (FAAN), Henrietta Yakubu, read: “FAAN wishes to apologize to Air Peace Airlines and our esteemed passengers for a runway incursion incident that prevented an Akure airport bound flight from landing for some minutes.
“The Air Peace flight, which left Lagos for Akure could not land immediately as some cows had strayed into the runway of the airport.
“However, normalcy was restored quickly, as officers of the aviation security department quickly dispersed the cows from the runway and the aircraft was cleared for landing.
“The Authority will like to assure travellers and the general public that efforts are already ongoing to close the gap that aided this incident”.
