Nigeria air apologises for ‘wrong’ landing conflict

A Nigerian airline said sorry for a mistake. They told passengers they had reached Abuja, but they actually landed in Asaba, which is 450km away.

United Nigeria Airlines said that the flight from Lagos to Abuja was redirected to Asaba because of bad weather

Incorrect information was given to passengers when the plane landed in Asaba, causing confusion.

“When we got off the plane, the crew told us we were in Abuja, but we later found out we were actually in Asaba,” a passenger said on X.

It seems that our pilot got the wrong flight plan from Lagos.

The airline said the plane’s pilot knew about the temporary change in direction and had been given the necessary information.

We are really sorry for the mistake on our flight. “We are doing things to stop this from happening again,” said in a statement.
The message said the plane landed safely in Abuja.
