A Max Air plane rammed into an Air Peace aircraft on Saturday afternoon at Benin airport, forcing Abuja-bound passengers onboard the latter to disembark.
The incident, Air Peace reported in a statement, damaged the left elevator of its aircraft.
“The management of Air Peace hereby notifies the general public that an incident occurred on Saturday at 14.00hrs at the Benin airport, Edo state, when a taxiing Max Air aircraft rammed its right wing into our parked aircraft which was boarding our Abuja bound passengers at the time of the incident.
“The hit damaged the left elevator of our aircraft, thereby rendering the aircraft grounded and unserviceable,” the statement read.
It was gathered that another aircraft was deployed to ferry the passengers to Abuja.
