Dana Air and the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency have
both refute the report on air crash in the Nigeria airspace as “unfounded”.
Both organisations at different times issue statement on the issue.
According to Dana Air, “Our attention has been drawn to a
report insinuating that a Dana Air plane crashed somewhere in Lagos on Sunday,
11 December, 2016.”
Stating the falsehood of the report, “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.”
NAMA on its part issued a statement through its Acting
General Manager, Public Affairs, Olajumoke Adetona.
“The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) hereby
wishes to debunk rumours making rounds on social media of the crash of an
aircraft belonging to a particular airline in Nigeria.
Emphasising the baselessness of the reports, Adetona
said, “For the avoidance of doubt, the agency hereby wishes to state
categorically that such rumours are baseless, unfounded and therefore NOT TRUE.
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.”
