Federal Government Lifts Suspension On Dana Airlines

The Federal Government, yesterday, lifted the suspension imposed on Dana Airlines last Saturday, after a meeting among officials of the airline, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, and Aviation Ministry in Abuja.

Consequently, the airline will resume flight operations today, according to the airline management last night.

Government, however, insisted on grounding the airline’s airplane that had a snag last weekend that necessitated the suspension.

Special Assistant to the Minister of Aviation, Mr. Joe Obi, confirmed last night that after series of deliberation on critical safety issues involved in the airline’s operations, government lifted the suspension imposed on the airline

Obi said:  “Officials of the Federal Ministry of Aviation and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, met with the management team from Dana Airlines today (yesterday) in Abuja and deliberated on some safety issues in connection with the operations of the airline.
