A ValueJet airline aircraft has skidded off the taxi turn after landing and clearing the runway at Port Harcourt airport.
CKNNews reports that this happened around 3.30 p.m. local time today (Tuesday).
According to the report, a Value Jet captain who confirmed the occurrence, said the aircraft had stopped on the runway and was about to execute the second turn-off when he encountered a slip due to algae on the turn-off.
