An Air Peace Boeing 737-500, registration 5N-BQQ performing flight P4-7190 from Lagos to Port Harcourt (Nigeria) with 96 passengers and 7 crew, landed on Port Harcourt's runway 03 at about 07:45L (06:45Z) but overran the runway and came to a stop with all gear on soft ground. The passengers disembarked via mobile stairs onto the grass. There were no injuries, the aircraft received minor if any damage.

Nigeria's Airport Authority confirmed the incident and reported all passengers disembarked safely.

On Sep 10th 2025 Nigeria's NSIB released their preliminary report summarizing the sequence of events:

Approach cleared APK7190 to intercept final approach track Runway 21 “crossing radial 350 descent to 2400 ft, QNH 1016 clear for ILS approach Runway 21, report established”, APK7190 acknowledged. APK7190 further requested to fly direct GAMEP and BINIM for ILS approach Runway 21 and it was approved.

Approach asked APK7190 report position, APK7190 reported; “turning inbound and … we just established on localizer Runway 21”.

Approach instructed APK7190 to contact Tower on 119.2 MHz and APK7190 acknowledged.

According to the Captain, “on final approach, we were stable on ILS RWY 21 at 1000 ft AGL, I disconnected the autopilot at 500 ft. At 400 ft, I noticed the glide was showing fly down on dot, by the time I could realise it, I crossed the threshold at 200 ft AGL. My co-pilot told me to go around, but felt I could land safety so I continued”.

The aircraft landed at a distance of 2,264 m from the threshold of Runway 21, and travelled a total distance of 945 m before coming to a final stop 209 m from the end of the runway.

The passengers disembarked unhurt.
