The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has suspended the permit of Mattini Airline Services Limited after the company’s jet overshot the runway at Samuel Ladoke Akintola Airport, Ibadan, Oyo state.

The challenger CL 601 aircraft, which departed Abuja, skidded into the nearby bush at the runway on Friday.

No fatality was recorded, as all passengers and crew were safely evacuated.

In a statement on Friday, Michael Achimugu, NCAA director of public affairs and consumer protection, said the aviation authority has initiated an economic inquiry into the operation of the aircraft in line with its permit for non-commercial flight (PNCF).
