Dana Air may resume operations in October

After findings from an investigation conducted on the Dana airline’s flight operations, it was divulged that Dana Airlines was no longer capable to meet its financial obligations and conduct safe flight operations.

Dana Air since then showed that the airlines has moved towards addressing its shortfalls and are currently undergoing audits by the authorities they may resume flight operations before the end of next month by the look of things .

It has been reported that the airlines’ Air Transport Licence, ATL, and Air Operator Certificate, AOC, were suspended by the Nigerian Civil  Aviation Authority, NCAA, in July 2022, following outcome of a financial and economic health audit.

Sources say NCAA would conduct a final audit later this week which will conclude the process of seeing the airline resume operations.

He said: “Dana Airlines may likely resume operations either before the end of October or November, 2022. The NCAA is satisfied with Dana’s response.”

Meanwhile, the airline had announced conclusion of its internal Safety Management Systems, SMS, training for top management staff and post holders.

The airlines’ Accountable Manager, Ememobong Ettete, said:  “We have just concluded our Safety Management Systems training for top management staff and post holders.

“The NCAA audit is also still ongoing and we have made a huge progress, having upped the ante on all our processes and procedures, but the SMS training is a periodic training for staff to enhance their knowledge on safety both in the office and across all aspects of our operations.”
