Dana Air, NAMA Refute Report on Air Crash in Nigeria Airspace


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.”
