Dana Airline has blamed cold and wet weather for the reason one of its aircraft skidded off the runway to crash land in the bush at the Port Harcourt International Airport.
In a statement to Pulse, the airline noted that ‘inclement weather caused the Dana aircraft runway overshoot in Port Harcourt.’
“On Tuesday, 20th February, 2018, one of our aircraft operating Abuja-PHC skidded off the runway at the Port Harcourt International Airport as a result of very stormy weather and severe winds upon landing.
“Thankfully there were no casualties and all our passengers and crew on board were disembarked safely with the timely response from the ground emergency services.
“We are grateful for the swift reaction of the emergency response teams and safe evacuation of all on board,” the statement reads.
