“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.

“Captain Stanley Balami reported that the aircraft encountered a slip due to algea 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.

LEADERSHIP recalls that a major accident was averted two days ago on Sunday after a Boeing 737 aircraft with the registration number: 5N-BYQ belonging to Aero Contractors nose-stucked after landing at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja.
