The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 22 at DNAA Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. The takeoff distance was 999 meters, which is 28% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles southwest of DNAA Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. The climb took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 48 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 1,934 feet above sea level to 26,941 feet above sea level.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 24 miles southwest of Nasarawa. This phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 106 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 7 miles northwest of Isieke. The descent took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 77 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 26,999 feet above sea level to 3,509 feet above sea level.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 15 miles north of Calabar. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 7 miles north of Calabar. The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 3,506 feet above sea level to 804 feet above sea level.

The final approach to runway 21 at DNCA Margaret Ekpo International Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 206.0° at an altitude of 587 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 21, which has a length of 2,462 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 152 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 244 meters, but the touchdown speed of 149 knots was fast. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -768 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 26.7 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, and the headwind component was 0 knots.
