A Bombardier Challenger 601 ended up on a road under construction near Asaba International Airport after a missed approach on 10 June. The aircraft, operated by VMO Aero Ltd, reportedly touched down on a 7,000-foot highway stretch beside the runway, then departed for Lagos and drew regulatory scrutiny over the subsequent movement and crew actions.
The episode puts approach stability, runway geometry, and airport perimeter control back under the microscope at Asaba. For operators, it is a reminder that one unstable approach can become an airside and regulatory event in seconds.
