Dana Air refutes plane crash report, says it is malicious

The management of Dana Airlines Ltd, Nigeria’s most reliable carrier, on Sunday, denied report that one of its aircraft crashed somewhere in Lagos.

This is against a report by an online newspaper, Ibom Telegraph that went viral earlier today that one of the airlines aircraft crashed somewhere in Lagos.

Kingsley Ezenwa, Head Media and Communications, in a statement to NEWSVERGE in Lagos said that the report is entirely false and malicious, as it carries pictures and report of the previous incident.

According to the statement, “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.”
