According to Vanguard, Dana Airlines
will today conduct its inaugural flight to Abuja, six months after one of its
aircraft got involved in a crash that killed all 153 passengers and crew on
board and others on ground at Iju Ishaga, Lagos, on June 3, 2012.
Coming barely two weeks after
the House of Representatives called for revocation of the airline’s operating
licence, the flight, expected to take off in Lagos at 9:45 a.m, would have on
board some VIPs, journalists, stakeholders in the aviation sector and
celebrities, including Nollywood stars.
The airline’s spokesman, Tony
Usidamen, who confirmed this, yesterday, said all arrangements had been
concluded for a seamless flight.
Vanguard learnt that Aviation
Minister, Princess Stella Oduah, had issued a resumption letter to the airline
to recommence operation after series of investigation and test flights by
Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA.
