Abuja airport closed after Saudi Arabian plane veers off runway.
The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, has been closed since Wednesday night after Saudi Arabian cargo B747 aircraft veered off the runway, the aviation ministry said on Thursday.
The plane ran off the runway, but no one was hurt, ministry spokesman Joe Obi said.
According to him: “A Saudi Arabian B747 cargo aircraft landed safely in Abuja this night (yesterday night) but finished the maneuvering area of the runway and ran into a maintenance area of the runway and stopped.”
“No casualty and plans are on to move the air craft after the AIB’s visit soon.”
