Why we grounded Dana Airlines


The Federal Government, yesterday, gave reasons why it suspended the Dana Airlines, even as it said it would soon send the two engines of the crashed Embraer 120 aircraft belonging to Associated Airline to Brazil for comprehensive analyses.

Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah said at a briefing with State House correspondents that the suspension of the operations of Dana Airlines was due to “operational issues,” adding that it was to enable the regulatory body ensure that the airline met certain requirements in the industry.

On the recent crash of an aircraft belonging to the Associated Airlines, Oduah said though every step was being taken to avert plane crashes in the country, accidents in the aviation sector are “inevitable” since they are acts “of God.”
She said the Dana Airlines operating licence was merely suspended, and not withdrawn noting that due process was followed in taking the action.
