News: DANA Air cleared to resume operations

Following the successful outcome of the operational audit of Dana Air by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), the airline is set to recommence full commercial flight operations by today Sunday, 26 January 2014.
The resumption of Dana Air’s flight operations comes on the heels of the lifting of the suspension order by the regulatory agency as the airline has demonstrated satisfactory competence in operating the Boeing McDonnell Douglas (MD-83) aircraft fleet.
The carrier it was learnt will take delivery of two brand new Boeing 737-500 aircraft next week to boost its resumed operations .
Dana  Air was suspended  on October 6, 2013  by the Federal Government  to enable the NCAA carry out technical audit of its operations. It will be recalled that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority in exercising its statutory safety oversight functions on all the operating airlines, has prescribed a yearly schedule audit programme to ensure safety in the sky and to also avoid hitches in flight operations. Dana Air is the first airline to have successfully undergone the operational audit exercise.
