The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, confirmed that the crew of a U.S.-registered private jet involved in a security breach at Asaba Airport remain in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS). The incident occurred on June 10 when the aircraft, a Bombardier Challenger 601-3A operated by VMO Aero Limited, landed on a concrete road instead of the runway after being cleared to land. Keyamo described the event as a serious security breach, emphasizing that the crew ignored air traffic control instructions and departed the scene before investigators arrived. He noted the pilot was over the age limit for Nigerian commercial pilots and highlighted that the aircraft operates under international leasing agreements.
