It could be recalled the same airline experienced a crash in 2012 killing 153 passengers in a Lagos suburb and also recently witnessed a scandal where its exit door fell off upon landing in Abuja.
The airline @DanaAir has often been criticised for the poor maintenance of its planes, which has caused the death of many passengers.
