The runway at Abuja airport has been reopened for operation.

The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport’s runway, which serves Abuja, has been reopened for flight operations, according to the aviation minister Hadi Sirika.

Due to the Max Air flight carrying passengers from Adamawa State experiencing two tire bursts during landing, the runway was closed for six hours.

On Sunday, the minister announced via his official Twitter account that the plane had been pulled off the runway and that it had passed inspection and been given the all-clear to be used.

He said in tweet, ” The Max Air aircraft has been towed away, and the runway has been swept, inspected and certified. The airport is now reopened for operations. Well done management and staff of Abuja. Thanks to all our customers for their patience and understanding. We regret the inconvenience.”
