February 23, (THEWILL) – A Lagos-bound flight, Dana Flight 9J402, made an emergency landing in Abuja at 2:25pm on Wednesday.
The pilot of the aircraft was said to have announced mid air that the flight could no longer continue for some reasons.
THEWILL, however, gathered that the incident may not be unconnected with weather related issues.
Confirming the incident, management of Dana Air in an official statement issued Wednesday evening stated that, “Our flight 9J 336 from Abuja to Lagos on 23rd February 2022 had an air return due to bad weather at destination
“The passengers on the aircraft were advised to disembark and board another of our aircraft on ground, so the aircraft that had the air return could refuel for another flight.”
“At Dana Air, the safety of our crew and passengers will remain at the center of every thing we do and this commitment won’t change anytime soon”, the airline emphasised.
