United Airlines has blamed the diversion of one of its flights which was headed for Abuja on Sunday but ended up in Asaba on bad weather.
Achilleus-Chud Uchegbe, Head of Corporate Communications, United Nigeria Airlines, made the clarification to BusinessDay after reports on social media claimed the airline’s pilot was given a wrong flight plan.
Uchegbe said the information being portrayed on social media was false.
BusinessDay’s checks show that the plane landed and cabin crew didn’t update passengers.
