Passengers of Dana Air flight 9J355 from Lagos to Abuja, have commended the aircraft Pilot, Abiodun Lawal and his first officer, Toluwase Oluwani, for safe landing after a go-around in Abuja due to bad weather.
In a press statement by Dana Air spokesman, Kingsley Ezenwa, the aircraft with over 140 passengers on approach had to initiate a go-around which is a safety procedure when the conditions for landing aren’t good enough.
In a trending video, the visibly elated passengers were seen taking pictures with the captain and his first officer, commending them for high safety consciousness and for reassuring the passengers constantly through the duration of the go-around.
He said, “upon approaching the Abuja runway, the visibility was poor due bad weather and we had to initiate a go-around. A go- around is a fundamental safety procedure in ensuring that the conditions on the runway, approach and aircraft are conductive for landing.
At Dana Air, it is our commitment to fly our guests safely and comfortably and the safety of our passengers and crew will continue to be a top priority for us and we will continue to fly in accordance with global safety standards,” he stated.
Recall that Dana Air recently recruited and trained over 20 Nigerian pilots reassuring the flying public of its high safety standards, commitment to human capacity development and growth of the industry.
