The NCAA said it was satisfied of the
airline.
Dana Airlines may soon resume normal
operations, as the audit of its operations by
the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, in
the wake of last year’s crash has been
concluded.
NCAA said on Sunday in a statement by its
spokes person, Fan Ndubuoke, that the
Director-General of the agency, Fola
Akinkuotu, has described the audit
concluded on Friday, December 13, 2013 as
good and healthy.
The audit, which involved the NCAA Flight
Standard Group in conjunction with their
foreign partners, was also said to have been
painstaking, professional and transparent.
Mr. Akinkuotu said the NCAA would soon
meet with Dana Air officials to review and
come to agreement their action plan for
closing “open items”, while consultations
would also be made to determine a possible
date for the resumption of flight operations
by the airline.
Mr. Akinkuotu said that henceforth the audit
would be an annual exercise for all airlines,
including Dana Air, pointing out that the
essence of the audit was to ensure safety in
the sky and also to avoid hitches in flight
operations.
NCAA ordered the suspension of Dana
Airline’s operations in October to enable it
carry out a comprehensive audit of the
airline. (NAN)
