Enugu Air is one of Nigeria's newest airlines.

An aircraft for Nigeria's Enugu Air skidded off the runway after landing at an airport in the south of the country on Thursday, the airline said, adding that all passengers and crew had disembarked safely without injuries.

Enugu Air is one of Nigeria's newest airlines, having started operations a year ago.

The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) said it had started an investigation into the incident.

The Air Embraer E170 aircraft was flying from the commercial capital Lagos to Benin City with 68 passengers and crew on board, NSIB said.

In recent years, Nigeria has improved its air safety record.
