The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has suspended activities at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport after a cargo Airliner crash-landed on Wednesday.
The Aircraft belongs to Allied Air with registration number 5N-JRT.
One of the officials who is currently on ground and preferred to remain anonymous told ait.live that the aircraft got stuck near the runway after skidding off during landing, forcing them to shut down the airport pending when the plane would be removed.
The aircraft had reportedly experienced a tyre burst and failure of one of its landing gears after it landed.
