NGBenin Airport in Nigeria has suspended all flight operations after the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) closed its runway following an aircraft excursion incident involving an Enugu Air Embraer E170 on Thursday. United Nigeria Airlines and Air Peace have both halted their services to and from the airport until the runway reopens. The incident occurred during the landing of flight 4264 from Lagos to Benin, but all 63 passengers and five crew members were reported safe with no injuries. The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) has begun an inquiry into the event, examining the aircraft, runway conditions, and operational records. Runway closures are common safety measures after such incidents to allow investigations and ensure the site is secure before resuming operations.
