Dana Air To Resume Flight Operations.

EIGHT months after one of the aircraft in its fleet crashed in Iju/Ishaga, Lagos, killing over 160 people and leading to the suspension of its licence, Dana Air will today, recommence flight operations to Abuja.

According to information gathered,  the airline would have resumed flight operations two weeks ago but had to postpone it due to its inability to get approval from the Ministry of Aviation despite receiving the go-ahead from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). Dana Air sold tickets Thursday for flights between Nigeria's capital, Abuja, and its largest city of Lagos. Tickets to Abuja were on sale for N 14,400 which is far less than what the airline charged before the crash and also less than 50 % of what other airlines charge for flights on the same route. Most of the Dana staff seen were happy to be back.  It was an Abuja-Lagos flight that crashed on June 3 in a densely populated neighborhood near Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, killing 153 people on board and at least 10 on the ground.
The Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah on Monday, gave approval for Dana Air to resume flight operations. Ogaah oh even if ticket is N5.00 i wont buy or board i would rather walk to Abuja. NONSENSE.
