Air Peace has denied report that one of its aircraft aborted landing due to cows that allegedly strayed into the runway of the Sam Mbakwe Airport in Owerri, Imo State.

A statement signed by its Corporate Communications Manager, Mr. Chris Iwarah, yesterday dismissed the report, saying: “For the avoidance of doubt, none of our flights to Owerri or any other destination whatsoever was involved in aborted landing.

“We have painstakingly gone through all our relevant records and there was no report of any such incident. No report of the purported incident was also logged with the nation’s aviation regulators.”

While assuring the flying public of the high premium it places on the safety of its operations and customers, adding: “We urge reporters to always confirm their reports before rushing to the press.

“At Air Peace, we are always open to the press and indeed members of the public and are at all times willing to respond to any enquiries they may have,” he said.
