rather just fly newer airlines... discovery, peace etc.. remember two weeks ago my mum couldn't find flight for abuja and I suggested Dana...she put me off right there by saying "ABC bus has not shut down"...don't risk your lives tho...just boycott sooner or later it will go bankrupt when noone flies... PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE

BTW, kick out Uncle Jonathan 2015!!

Bullshit.

Maybe it was the bloggers first time of flying.

The flight took over an hour (maybe 65 minutes) instead of the scheduled 55 minutes. And so what? Flight times are estimates.

I am not surprised at the bloggers rubbish story. I am more intrigued by the moderators putting this rubbish on frontpage.

A passengers opinion of a flight is not sufficient evidence that a plane is faulty and will crash. Reminds me of the morons at Channels TV interviewing an anonymous employee of Dana after the unfortunate crash. The anonymous employee had such a poor command of the English language and had not one aviation terminology in their vocabulary. She just kept repeating 'the plane engine was faulty'

Is this not the same Dana that the FG gave a miraculous clean bill to fly after recently killing so many people with investigations hardly concluded?

PS: "Guns don't kill people, people kill people.'' Corruption is the biggest monster this country is facing.
God will punish this government for allowing this airline to continue operating in Nigeria.
Please vote Jonathan out, his atrocities can not be so easily forgotten. We have lost many to corruption under his administration, it must not continue.

@ poster, U think dana 537 is a disaster

Go try out AERO 181 and come back with ur verdict .

A flying coffin is the most ideal description .

I flew with AERO 181 on the 11th of november from lagos to kaduna and all passengers on board had their hearts in their mouth all through the 1hour 15mins journey.

We all complained but the two air hostesses(kehinde and ) were obviously not bothered about our worries .

We finally landed with Everybody praying and thanking God for the journey.

2 weeks down the line, coincidentally,a colleague of mine boarded same plane and had exactly same experience, same route and same scare.

She came the following day to the office , bought drinks and snacks for everybody in the office and tagged it (a thanks giving).

I doubt this report. This could just be the figment of imagination of the reporter aka blogger who was just looking for something to blog. Remember is he went for bloggers gig.

The plane was bouncing up and down as exergerated and flight attendants were busy serving food hmmm.

Why is this dumb article making the front page?

Journalist experiences turbulence mid-air and decides to spin it as a fault of the Dana Plane.

I can't think of any local carrier that hasn't had cases of air conditioning being sub-optimal before. Especially Arik Air.


Lots of things to tackle Dana on, but this is a non-issue, and just an all-round brainless article. Not sure what the emphasis on the age of the aircraft is for. Lots of airplanes remain airworthy even FAR longer than that 20 years.

LOOOL.... YOU THINK DANA IS BAD?
FLY AL-BARKA AIRLINE AND YOU WILL BECOME A BORN AGAIN THAT DAY!!


THE DAY I FLEW AL-BARKA TO ABUJA MANY YEARS AGO TO ABUJA, IT GOT TO A POINT THE PLANE TILTED TO ONE SIDE.
FOR SOME REASON I WASN'T SCARED BUT SOME OF THE PASSENGERS WERE PRAYING!!

THEN I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED BUT KNOW WHAT I KNOW NOW, I THINK WE SUFFERED A RIGHT ENGINE FAILURE AND THIS CAUSED THE PLANE TO TILT TO THE RIGHT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES UNTIL GOD TOOK CONTROL!

God didn't take control. Pilot went through the engine out checklist and trimmed the controls.

A quick google of Dana website shows no such flight with number 537 exists!

What else in this story is inconsistent? Fear of flying, undercarriage opening for The landing Gear does not amount to a plane about to crash!

Story sounds ignorant, until people start getting sued for false stories before sanity will reign.

You can imagine.

How did he even know that the plane was over 80yrs old? He found the plane manual under his seat?

SMH at bloggers who would do anything to gain attention.

Left to me, public safety is important, but false information is dangerous. I have flown dana more than once recently, nice plane, nice meal and smooth ride.

So i'll take this blogger's customary writeup with a pinch of salt.

Yeye journalist had a turbulent flight and decided to exaggerate a story.

cant you atheist stop meddling in other people's believes?
No one is stopping you from believing in kumutu kumutai but i cannot credit God for saving my life and that of others??

do you know that planes have crashed out of smaller faults?
What if the second engine failed?

what if the trims seized?

so many things could have gone wrong BUT IT WAS JESUS THAT TOOK CONTROL OKAY!!!.
another person might have a different opinion but this is my opinion and u have to respect that beccause it does not offend your senses in anyway or manner!
