But I always enjoy Dana. I prefer Dana to Arik. On tuesday , I went to Abuja from PH with Dana and came back today with Arik. I must say I enjoyed the experience I had with Dana than Arik. In fact, there is no perfect system in this world.

Please we also check head shape on this flight. So make sure your name is not saying one thing, and the shape of your head is saying another thing.

Reason why I rate Airpeace as the best airline in Nigeria.
Dana shouldn't tow this part else they will loose flyers

Airpeace provides a good service no doubt but they've delayed my flights countless times so they ain't better in that aspect. You're only assured of timely flight if your flight is either the first or the last for the day

It was a terrible experience. The flight was initially scheduled for 5.10pm on Thursday. It was latter canceled for the day. They started refund option and latter told us they have 2 flights for Friday (1.05pm and 6.10pm). Most people rescheduled to 1.05pm.
I was at the airport as early as 9.50am on Friday cos I suspected the flight might be over booked.
1.05pm changed to 2.05pm..... By 2.05pm, no Dana air was on ground, No announcement from Dana. We waited for a long time before people went to their ticketing stand to protest. It was really an ugly situation, some people scheduled initially for Thursday slept at the airport, others spent between 20 to 30k on both hotel+transport+feeding because of the cancelation on Thursday.
Latter on, they made arrangements with Medview to airlift Dana passengers enroute Lagos, while PH passengers were still stranded. Latter, they told us their plane coming from Lagos to Abuja will convey us from Abuja to PH, the flight was scheduled to land in Abuja by 8.30pm....the flight finally landed around 8.45pm.
When the arrival announcement was made, passengers rushed to the boarding gate to queue without even waiting for the boarding announcement. It became very rowdy cos passengers feared the plane might not be big enough to airlift everyone (those scheduled for Thursday plus those for 1.05pm and 6.10 pm on Friday). Eventually, we forcefully entered the boarding gate without thorough checks. They had to recheck everyone's boarding pass when we have fully boarded. A whole lot of drama took place from the time the plane arrived from Lag, to when we boarded. Passengers did not even follow normal sit arrangements, we just shook head anywhere space dey. People that couldn't get seat in economy had to be taken to Business class seat. Plane eventually took off around 9.55pm thereabout after several drama.
We arrived PH 10.45pm.
What a DAY!!!
Bye bye Dana.....you no go see me till further notice.

It was due to the weather, i was At the Abuja airport on the 9th, some flight could not Land due to bad weather... never knew it stay that long

Not at all. Other airlines were going to PH on Thursday and Friday while Dana air were no where to be found. I think most of their plane probably have technical issue. Na one mind most people take fly. It was rumored that the flight couldn't go on Thursday evening cos NCAA or so didn't clear the flight after some maintenance works.
IMO air (that is being managed by Dana) arrived Abuja around 1.55 pm on Friday, it could have conveyed us to PH, but it went straight to hanger for maintenance.
I think relevant agencies need to double check all airlines so we don't have a mishap.

Just because the airline had had a crash ones doesn't make it a failure.
Remember it could happen to any airline.

Let's assume you were the owner of that flight, and this comments of yours was made by someone else. You happened to be online and read it. How would you feel?



Just because a child failed doesn't mean he is a failure forever.

I understand the pains and plights of those passengers, but there might had been a bad weather that delayed the flight.

Remember again,"they once failed, they don't wanna fail again,so therefore they are being careful not to fail".

Baba, failure self get grade na!
If you are the owner then so what? Facts don't care about feelings.
If the service is wacky then they shouldn't be in the business of selling it.
All these little failures add up and lead to catastrophic outcomes and suddenly, it becomes "the will of God"!
