The aircraft had departed Aswan International Airport, Egypt at about 5:30pm.
The Air Peace flight departed at about the same time with that of the Nigerian Air Force, which used its Charlie 130.
Altogether, two two aircraft had 376 passengers, who entered into Egypt through the Aqeen border.
There are over 3,000 Nigerians fleeing war-torn Sudan.
