United Nigeria aircraft veers off runway

A United Nigeria Embraer ERJ145 jet with registration number 5N-BWW veered off the side of the runaway in Lagos. The aircraft was operating a flight from Abakaliki in Ebonyi State with a full load of 50 passengers and three crew members.

Upon landing on runway 18L in Lagos, the aircraft veered off the runway, resulting in the front landing geer of the aircraft to collapse. The jet eventually came to a stop on a patch of grass. No injuries were reported by the airline in a press statement released to the public after the incident.

United Nigeria operated its inaugural flight on the 12th of February in 2021 from Lagos to Enugu. Its fleet consists solely of the 50-seat Embraer ERJ145 jet, of which they have four of the type in their fleet.
