Dana Air, NAMA React To Plane Crash Rumour

​

Dana Air has denied a report by a newspaper, that one of its plane crashed in Lagos area on Sunday.

According to a statement from the airline which was signed by Mr Kingsley Ezenwa, Media and Communications Manager of the airline, there was no iota of truth in the report.

He added that the report is entirely false and malicious, as it carries pictures and report of a previous incident.

The statement said ; “Our attention has been drawn to a report insinuating that a Dana Air plane crashed somewhere in Lagos on Sunday, 11 December, 2016. We wish to state unequivocally that the report is entirely false and malicious, as it carries pictures and report of the previous incident.”

“At Dana Air, the safety and comfort of our guests and crew is a major priority to us and we will continue to adhere strictly to all local and international regulations in the delivery of safe, reliable and world-class air transport”.

“We also regret any inconveniences this may have caused our teeming guests, and we assure them that the issue is being investigated.”

Also, the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency has debunked rumours making the rounds on social media of the crash of an aircraft belonging to a particular airline in Nigeria.

The Ag. General Manager, Public Affairs, NAMA, Mrs Olajumoke Adetona, on Sunday in Lagos, said such rumours were baseless, unfounded and therefore not true.

She said, “NAMA can authoritatively inform the Nigerian public that there is no missing aircraft whatsoever within the Nigerian airspace.

“The agency therefore uses this opportunity to assure all Nigerians of the safety of the nation’s airspace as all necessary measures are being put in place to ensure seamless, efficient and safe flight operations in Nigeria.”
