An Air Peace pilot and co-pilot tested positive for alcohol and hard drugs following a serious runway incident at Port Harcourt International Airport in July 2025. The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau's preliminary report revealed that the crew's toxicological tests returned positive results for alcohol and psychoactive substances.
The incident involved a Boeing 737 aircraft carrying 103 passengers that veered off the runway during landing but fortunately resulted in no injuries. The crew's consumption of alcohol and drugs compromised their performance, leading to an unstable final approach and a long landing on the runway.
The report underscores the importance of strict regulations and monitoring in the aviation industry to ensure passenger safety.
