An Abuja-bound Air Peace flight was attacked by a bird strike while landing on Saturday.

BrandNewsDay reports that a bird strike denotes a situation where a bird collides with an aircraft during takeoff, landing, or while the plane is in flight.

A statement by the management of Air Peace hinted that the aircraft which took off from Asaba, Delta State capital, landed safely and passengers disembarked safely.
