ICYMI: Accident In Benin Airport As Two Airplanes Collide (Details)
On December 11th, two Boeing 737s collided with one another at the airport of Benin City in Nigeria. With both aircraft belonging to Nigerian operators, one aircraft was operated by Max Air while the other was operated by Air Peace. While the status of the Max Air jet is unknown, we do know that the 737 belonging to Air Peace had to be grounded, with passengers re-accommodated on a replacement aircraft.
On December 11th, Air Peace posted a press statement to its Facebook page. The incident report noted that an accident had occurred around 14:00 at Benin Airport involving one of its 737s and another 737 belonging to Max Air.
It stated that taxiing Max Air aircraft, 5N-ADB rammed its right wing into parked Air Peace aircraft 5N-BUQ. The Air Peace jet was boarding Abuja-bound passengers at the time. The airline goes on to say that the impact damaged the left elevator of 5N-BUQ, “rendering the aircraft grounded and unserviceable.”
Air Peace reported that the aircraft’s passengers disembarked, and a replacement aircraft was dispatched to operate the flight to Abuja.
Considering the aircraft was reportedly boarding passengers at the time, the incident report failed to confirm if there were any injuries suffered by crew or passengers as it made no mention in the negative nor affirmative.
