In a recent development, Dana Air has announced the disengagement of some of its employees as a result of an ongoing audit conducted by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).
According to Kingsley Ezenwa, spokesperson for Dana Airlines, the disengagement is temporary and will last until the regulatory authorities complete their audit to ensure compliance with aviation standards and regulations.
“Dana Air therefore urges for calm and understanding from our very dedicated staff for their altruism and stakeholders,” the airline said.
“In light of the ongoing audit, Dana Air has made the decision to temporarily disengage some staff members pending the conclusion of the audit,” Mr Ezenwa said.
“This decision has been made to ensure efficient management of resources and to facilitate a thorough review of operational procedures.
“The Management of Dana Air extends its sincere appreciation to all staff members for their resilience and dedication during this period of uncertainty. It recognises the difficulties that staff have had to endure and assures them that every effort is being made to resolve the situation promptly.”
Dana Air reaffirms its commitment to cooperating fully with the authorities to expedite the audit process. The airline assures its employees of continued support during this period of challenge.
Additionally, Dana Air has initiated discussions with lessors and is actively engaging stakeholders to address the situation.
This move comes after the suspension of Dana Airline’s Air Operator Certificate (AOC) by NCAA on April 24, 2024, following a runway excursion incident involving a Dana aircraft MD-82, with registration number 5N BKI.
