Crashed Allied Aircraft
Nigeria’s Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) said that the Allied Air aircraft that crashed on December 11, 2024, was flying out to pick up a cargo belonging to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)

This was contained in a preliminary report on the Allied Air cargo plane that crash-landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja (NAIA).

“On 11 December 2024, a Boeing 737-400F aircraft with nationality and registration marks 5N-JRT, operated by Allied Air Limited was on a positioning flight to pick up cargo for the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN),” the report said.

According to the report, the aircraft had arrived from Douala earlier in the morning and was scheduled for six sectors: Lagos-Abuja, Abuja-Sokoto, Sokoto-Abuja, Abuja-Yola, Yola-Abuja and Abuja-Lagos, with the same flight crew.

Following the crash, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) said the passengers on the cargo aircraft had been safely evacuated after the plane skidded off the runway.
