FCT, Abuja - An Air Peace flight from Abuja to Asaba, Delta state, escaped a potential disaster on Friday, October 10, after the aircraft suffered an engine failure while preparing for take-off at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

The incident occurred shortly after the aircraft had gained speed and was almost closing in on the runway for take-off when a loud blast was heard, followed by flashes of light. There was, however, no fire outbreak.
