Two aircrafts
belonging to Air Peace Airlines collided at the departure ramp of Murtala
Muhammed Airport in Lagos on Thursday. One of the aircraft, a Boeing 737
with the registration mark 5N-BQR, was reportedly being towed for departure,
when it hit the stabiliser of the B737 aircraft with the registration mark
5N-BQP.
Chris Iwarah, spokesman of the airline, confirmed the
incident to reporters.
"The points of contact of the two aircraft were only
slightly impacted. But we took the cautious decision to declare them
unserviceable to enable a proper investigation of the incident.
"There were no passengers on the two aircraft involved in
the incident. We have also revised our flight schedule to cater to our esteemed
guests on the 14 sectors the two aircraft were scheduled to service today.
"At the moment, everything is working according to plan and
our engineers have already begun repair of the aircraft," he said.
