The Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, has reacted to the runway excursion involving Flight 4264 (registration 5N-ENR) operated by Enugu Air, which skidded off the runway at the Benin Airport on Thursday, saying that despite the incident, the airline operates with high safety standard.

Mbah, in a statement he personally signed, expressed sympathy with the 68 passengers on-board the aircraft and five crew members over the traumatic experience and commended the aviation authorities for immediately initiating an investigation into the incident, saying that for Enugu Air, safety remained non-negotiable.

This was coming as the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has ordered for investigation into the serious incident.
