Following a minor landing gitch by an aircraft in the fleet of Air Peace, the runway of the Ilorin International Airport has been closed to traffic.

All flights to Ilorin have also been cancelled pending the evacuation of the plane. Air Peace began operation from Ilorin Airport on June 16.

According to investigations, the aircraft had a tyre burst and resulted in luggage in the overhead cabin falling on passengers.

It was gathered with the impact of the tyre burst, the plane could not taxi to the tarmac.

In the last 24 hours, the runway of the airport had been closed to traffic.

As at the time of filing this report, efforts were being made to relocate the plane from the runway.

It was learnt the process of moving the plane from the runway was slow because, according to a source, "it is a bigger aircraft and we have no equipment.

"We are in the process of removing the aircraft. We have been on it for 24 hours," the source added.
