The federal
government has lifted the suspension of the Operating Licence of Dana
Airlines.
According to a
release signed by the Special Media Adviser to Aviation Minister, Joe Obi said
this follows government’s satisfaction with the air-worthiness of the airline
after a rigorous technical, operational and financial audit of the airline.
By this development,
Dana Airline is free to resume its normal commercial flight operations.
The statement said
the government will however continue to strengthen its oversight and regulatory
functions to ensure that all airlines operating in the country, including Dana
adhere strictly to safety procedures as required by the Nigerian Civil Aviation
Act and all other relevant local and international regulations that ensure and
promote sustainable air safety.
It would be recalled
that the operating licence of Dana Airlines was temporarily suspended following
the crash of one of its aircraft on June 3, in Lagos as a safety precaution.
