Dana Air Almost Killed Me Yesterday

Here's my personal experience with Dana yesterday....passengers beware o!

We boarded a dana flight 9J-357(LOS-ABV) yesterday at MM2 Lagos finally @ past 5pm after an hour delay,only for the plane to taxi,rise into the air a bit and suddenly came down again!

Everyone on board thought it was the end of our sojourn here on earth!

The pilot then announced it was a technical problem and didn't want to take chances so we had to board another plane...just barely a year after the last crash....makes me wonder if anyone cares about human lives in this Country!

Dana should b grounded til they stop "managing" planes.

Thank God for ur life.

This is precisely why I opened a thread shortly after the unfortunate Dana crash of last year and called for all passengers who encounter similar discomfiting experiences in air travel to promptly report their travails for others to take note. I commend the OP for blowing the whistle, even though some aviation experts may consider this as crying wolf over nothing. It's still infinitely better than waiting for the catastrophic to happen (God forbid!) and coming out to say the ponctifical "oh, I was nearly their victic the other day. They've been doing this a lot" blah blah blah.

@ al-yusra...my bros na God save us o!

well i think that is rather unfortunate but on a serious note if one is a frequent flyer u wd know that this tins happen. safety is in the hands of God and not man. Dana or no Dana, no airline can guarantee 100 percent safety in Nigeria. last year's accident was unfortunate especially as a frequent and ardent flyer and follower of Dana air, but what we would continue to do, is to keep praying against a re-occurrence. Dana air remains my most preferred airline cos most of our airlines package themselves, they all use old planes. At least we hear Dana air is expecting new aircraft so that is good news for us.

eyah, it seems like you deserve it. You see other's died, you still went to go and chook your head. You will die for nothing and they will not pay your family anything. Go and ask families going through this. I cant believe they are still in business and people are using them.

share your experience on flytexperience.com. It will help others to be informed about their flight decision. Thanks for the info!

This is not a good tiding for Dana. They ve to do something really fast

@ OP, I wonder what your problem is, your title is completely misleading.
The pilot noticed a technical fault and decided not to take any risk, since they just had a bitter experience.
My friend, he's just been careful, other pilots will still go on and nothing will happen.
So don't come here crying like they laid you for sacrifice.

that some scary shiit..

Funny enough Nigeria government won't take dis serious until they kill our brothers and sisters again! God help my country!!!

Not again!
Dana seems to care less abt safety. Shldnt they be working on maximum safety to redeem their image? I fear fear oooo.

So Dana still exist??... Na wa o

Yesterday will be some people's last time of ever flying Dana.
If na me, I will say Haaaa Again?
Ok thanks Dana byeeee...

So now taking precautions has become synonymous with "almost killed’, na wa for Nigerians oo.

nawaoo!!

after that dana air crash last year, anybody still flying dana air this year is committing suicide, Op next time write your will first before flying dana air and rip in advance

Thank God. Taking chances is always dangerous. 'In kunne yaji, jiki ya tsira'

All oda airline also exp such technical problem, just dat ds is hapeni 2 Dana Air now

WOW ...Had something similar with Arik sometime ago too...but we concluded our journey. God help us in this country

OP dis is an affront to the aviation community. That the pilot took emergency procedures and landed safely does not mean that the plane was in grave danger, rather it goes a long way to show the professionalism of Dana Air management and pilots.
Attacking Dana brand, that values ur life and their brand by landing the aircraft after a technical glitch is so unfair.

Thank God 4 ur life but no go near them again ooo!

Thank God you survived! I hope you learn from your mistake.

Please guys, under no circumstance should you fly in Nigeria, the aircrafts are nothing short of flying coffins, they are old, poorly maintained, and poorly checked. The airlines themselves have come to the realisation that the Nigerian government places no worth on human lives.

I'd rather travel 12 hours by land than fly in nigeria

I don't mind flying with KLM, Luftansa or British Airways to any location in NIgeria. These Nigerian owned airlines are scary. Foreign airlines should be allowed to fly local.

This thing is sounding like joke; but its accentually serious!

Thank God for the pilot who did not risk the life of the passengers.
