The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja, was shut on Wednesday following an incident involving a private jet on the runway.
The incident, our correspondent learnt, involved a Gulfstream 400 private jet with tail number: 5N-PZE, carrying 14 passengers including four crew members.
A source who confirmed the incident stated that the aircraft was arriving from Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, when the incident happened.
The aircraft, it was learnt, landed at 2: 16 pm.
“The cause of the incident could not be ascertained but I am sure the appropriate authorities would have been informed about the incident,” the source said.
