An CRJ 900 Bombardier aircraft belonging to ValueJet Airline skidded off the runway at the Port Harcourt International Airport in Rivers State.
The Airline in a statement said the aircraft had stopped on the runway and executed the second turn when it encountered a slip due to algae on the taxiway.
“The CRJ 900 Bombardier aircraft with registration 5N-BXR landed safely with passengers wondering what could have happened because the airplane landed safely without difficulty. The minor incident happened at about 3.30pm at the Port-Harcourt International Airport," the Airline stated.“Captain Stanley Balami reported that the aircraft encountered a slip due to algae on the taxi-way which made it unable to maintain the centre line. ValueJet remains a safe airline and all the airline’s operations are normal without glitch,” the Airline stated.
