Three months after THAT crash, FG lifts suspension on Dana Air’s license

According to a press statement released this evening by the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, Dana Air has been given permission to resume flights. The airline had its licence seized, after a tragic plane crash that involved one of its planes and killed all the 153 people on board.

“The Federal Government has lifted the suspension of the Operating Licence of Dana Airlines. This follows government’s satisfaction with the air-worthiness of the airline after a rigorous technical, operational and financial audit of the airline,” the statement read.

“By this development, Dana Airline is free to resume its normal commercial flight operations. 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.
“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.”
The release was signed by Joe Obi, SA (Media) to Hon. Minister of Aviation.
