Dana Air highlights achievements as it celebrates 6th anniversary

As Dana Air celebrates its 6th anniversary having started flight operations on 10 November 2008, the airline says it is even stronger and better positioned to further expand and consolidate across the domestic routes even as plans are underway to commence regional flight operations by the second quarter of 2015.

Speaking on key achievements in the last six years, Head, Corporate Communications of the airline, Mr. Samuel Ogbogoro said that despite the peculiar operational challenges inherent in the aviation sector, Dana Air has been able to surmount the challenges and has made giants strides.

He said Dana Air is the first and only Nigerian airline to have successfully undergone an operational audit conducted by the Flight Safety Group (FSG) of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority in conjunction with their foreign partners and has in the course of the last years airlifted over 2.3 million guests.

Dana Air is a trail blazer and has consistently demonstrated a commitment to get passengers to their destinations in a timely manner. The airline’s consistent on-time performance as well as its unique customer service is second to none in the industry and this has attracted commendations from industry analysts. The airline has also received numerous awards in the last few years of its operations some of which includes: airline of the year award by the Transport and Logistics Company of Nigeria; Most Efficient Airline by Accolade magazine; Most Consistent Airline in Hospitality and Customer Service by the Centre for Democratic Governance in Africa; Best Customer Service Company in Airline services at the Nigerian customer service awards as well as Best IT-driven Airline by Technology Africa and Computer Society amongst others.

Mr. Ogbogoro stated further that the airline is not resting on its oars as it is constantly reviewing its operations in line with current trends to meet the expectations of its guests and the flying public through the introduction of innovative products.

Dana Air has also demonstrated responsiveness to the community as it continues to invest in credible Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities that impact and touch lives through the Sri Sai Vandana Foundation (SSVF). The SSVF manages the Sai Orphanage that presently houses 11 children whose daily needs are being provided by the foundation. Also, the airline had previously supported the Sickle Cell Federation of Nigeria even as it is also involved in other humanitarian activities that include feeding the homeless, sinking of borehole water in rural communities, sponsoring pilgrimages as well as supporting eye surgeries to the visually impaired. Presently, airline is helping to empower youths to achieve their dreams through its strategic alliance with the Dare2Dream initiative.
