NAHCO Vehicle Crashes Into Air Peace A320 Engine at Lagos Airport, Disrupts Flights

If you have an upcoming flight with Air Peace, you might want to double-check your schedule.

Nigeria’s largest airline is currently counting its losses after one of its Airbus A320 aircraft sustained severe damage on the tarmac. The incident occurred at the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 1 (MMA1) in Lagos on Tuesday, July 14, 2026.

A baggage conveyor belt vehicle, operated by the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO), rammed directly into the aircraft’s engine, rendering the multi-million dollar plane “totally unserviceable.”

The Medical Emergency Behind the Crash

While initial reports sparked anger online, insider details reveal a tragic human element to the accident.

According to airport sources, the operator of the NAHCO equipment, identified simply as Mr. Sunday, suffered a sudden medical emergency while on duty. He reportedly slumped over the controls of the baggage vehicle, causing the machine to surge forward uncontrollably into the stationary plane.
