FG Suspends Dana Air License After Lagos Airport Incident....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has taken swift action in response to the recent incident involving a Dana Air plane at the Lagos airport runway. The Acting Director-General, Captain Chris Najomo, announced the suspension of Dana Air’s Air Operators Certificate (AOC) following the incident.

The suspension, effective from April 24, 2024, at 23:59, comes as a precautionary measure pending a thorough investigation into the incident. The Dana Air plane, with registration number 5N BKI, veered off the runway into a nearby field upon landing from Abuja. Fortunately, all 83 passengers and crew onboard disembarked safely.

Emergency responders and regulatory agencies swiftly initiated an investigation to ascertain the cause of the incident. While awaiting the outcome of the investigation by the Nigerian Safety and Investigation Bureau, NCAA has decided to suspend Dana Air’s AOC and initiate an in-house compliance assessment.

In a letter addressed to Dana Air, signed by Captain Chris Najomo, the Acting Director of NCAA, the authority emphasized the importance of ensuring safety and compliance. The safety audit will involve a re-inspection of the airline’s operations, procedures, personnel, and aircraft, while the economic audit will assess the financial health of the airline to sustain safe flight operations.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, expressed concern over the incident and directed NCAA to conduct a comprehensive audit of Dana Air’s operations. The Ministry emphasized the paramount priority of safety and well-being and urged swift and decisive action to safeguard the interests of all stakeholders.

The recent incidents have highlighted the urgency of ensuring compliance with safety protocols, maintenance procedures, and financial health in the aviation sector. The Ministry trusts in the expertise and diligence of NCAA in carrying out the audit thoroughly and expeditiously to address the concerns raised by the incident.
