The management of Dana Airlines has grounded its aircraft, with registration number 5N BKI, after it crash-landed and skidded off the runway at the domestic wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos, on Tuesday morning.
Reports say that the aircraft skidded off due to the wet and slippery surface of the runway caused by the early morning downpour in Lagos.
It was further gathered that the aircraft flew into Lagos from Abuja with 83 passengers and flight crew members onboard.
The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) has deployed investigators to the site of the incident.
However, in a press statement by the head, Corporate Communications, Dana Air, Kingsley Ezenwa, he said all 83 passengers and crew onboard the flight disembarked safely without injuries or scare as the crew handled the situation with utmost professionalism.
