Dana Air License Suspended For Audit by ucforu(m): 10:35pm On Oct 06, 2013


After the Lagos airport plane crash, FG decide to Ban Dana airline again from operating in the country.


We regret to announce the temporary suspension of our flight operations following a directive from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) on Sunday, 6th October, 2013.
This, we understand, is to allow for an audit of our operations as a precautionary measure.

At Dana Air, the safety and comfort of our guests and crew is a major priority, and we would continue to cooperate with the aviation authorities and abide by all local and international safety regulations in the delivery of world-class air transport services to our esteemed guests.

We apologise for any inconveniences caused as a result of this suspension and urge our guests to please call our contact centre on 01-2800888 for further information and advice.

Thank You.

Dana Air Management

Nice decision right?

Huh? they should give us a reason. i expected that the FG/FAAN, upon hearing that dana airline failed engine 20 minutes after take off from abuja last week, should have come out and issue a statement. surprise no one said anything on that front. all the fuss was on social media.

God help us

I am the one that revealed the loss of its engine from abuja to lagos. After all the abuse i received on social media from what i obviously saw of loss of the right turbine on the wing of the aircraft, the same airline has repeated it again with passengers on their way FROM Port Harcourt:-

The Director General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Mr. Fola Akinkuotu, Sunday suspended the operations of Dana Air.

General Manager, Public Affairs, NCAA, Fan Ndubuoke, who confirmed the suspension, said it was because its flight from Port Harcourt to Lagos made on air return due to technical problem.
THISDAY investigations learnt that the aircraft lost one of its engines and this was the second time in a week that such an incident would happen.


An informed source revealed that the aircraft had flown 38 miles away from Port Harcourt when one of the engines shut down, when it called the control tower.

It was gathered that by the time it was making the air return, it had flown 45 miles with one engine, in an aircraft laden with passengers.

Last year, the airline recorded a tragic air accident in Lagos that killed 153 persons on board.

Very good NCAA, two Sunday's ago, a Dana flight from Abuja to Lagos 7pm lost one of the engines again, 30 minutrs after taking off, and people were advised to stay away from cockpit. We only hear the final news.. which is crash... thank God the other engine moved people to Lagos successfully... while most passengers are already in comma
Re: Dana Air License Suspended For Audit by ghettodreamz(m): 12:32pm On Oct 07, 2013
Good move, if this was actually for the stated reason. I hope they pass the auditing test & requirements; and hopefully they'd lift the suspension soon.
Re: Dana Air License Suspended For Audit by Nobody: 12:32pm On Oct 07, 2013
What about Associated Airlines? Don't they need an audit too?

Re: Dana Air License Suspended For Audit by Nosyke(m): 1:01pm On Oct 07, 2013
Now this is getting interesting. The NCAA should do a comprehensive safety analysis of all local airlines, any of them found faulty should be grounded till it meets safety standards. They should be proactive instead of being reactive, today they suspend Dana, tomorrow they lift the suspension, now it's Associated airlines. Aren't these aircrafts supposed to be certified ok before they are allowed to fly?
What of people that have planned their travels with Dana air of course based upon the fact that NCAA has certified them ok, what happens to them?
Its high time aviation all stake holders tell the flying public which airlines to use and those not to use.
Arik, re schedules flight at will most times without any form of compensation to inconvenienced passengers, yet nothing has happened to them in terms of punishment not to talk of their throat slicing fares

Well, I called their customer care and the lady told me that it was only for today alone, normal flights will resume by tomorrow.
