False fire alarm triggers panic on Air Peace flight from Port Harcourt to Lagos, prompting priority landing request
Despite a false alarm, Air Peace confirmed a safe landing; passengers disembarked without incident. The incident follows a recent Dana runway skid
A false fire alarm caused panic on an Air Peace Port Harcourt-Lagos flight, leading the airline to request a priority landing.
Despite the false alarm, Air Peace officials confirmed that the aircraft operating flight P47193 landed safely, and passengers disembarked without incident.
According to the airline’s statement, shortly before landing, the captain noticed a fire warning indicator in the cockpit.
“The pilots followed all safety preventive measures, and the fire indicator ceased. At 17:37 hrs, the captain immediately notified our operations control centre in Lagos.
“Upon landing, it was determined that the alarm was falsely triggered as there was no fire event. The aircraft landed safely, and all passengers disembarked normally,” the statement clarified.
This incident occurred just days after a Dana aircraft skidded off the runway in Lagos, grounding all its aircraft.
