Dana Air Loses N270m To Bird Strike

Dana Airline yesterday said it lost about N270 million to a recent accident at the  Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, caused by bird strike.

The Managing Director of the airline, Mr. Jacky Hathiramani, told newsmen in Ikeja  that the aircraft had been grounded for three weeks following the incident.

Hathiramani said that the aircraft was departing Abuja for Lagos when the incident  occurred, adding, “the incident which can be prevented, is causing the airline great  losses and potential risks to flight.

“We hope that the authorities would take up the challenge as soon as possible and  reduce, if not eliminate, the incidents of bird strikes in our airports.”
