United Nigeria Airlines Suspends Benin Flights Amid Runway Closure

United Nigeria Airlines has announced the temporary suspension of all flight operations to and from Benin Airport due to the closure of the airport's runway by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN). This decision was communicated in a statement issued on Thursday, following an aircraft excursion incident that occurred during landing.

The runway will remain closed to facilitate recovery operations and safety assessments. The airline expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to passengers and encouraged them to contact customer service for assistance with rebooking and travel arrangements.

United Nigeria Airlines emphasized its commitment to passenger welfare and requested understanding during this disruption. The FAAN is expected to reopen the runway after completing recovery operations and necessary safety checks, allowing normal flight operations to resume.
