Dana Air Suspended For The 2nd Time.
Monday, March 18, 2013Omoba
Dana Air has been re-suspended six
months after it was allowed to restart operations following a crash of one of
its air crafts that resulted in the death of 153 passengers and 10 others on
ground, the airline said on Sunday.
Dana Air said in a statement it did not know the
reason for the suspension by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).
In June, Dana Air flight 992, a McDonnell Douglas
MD-83, crashed into an apartment block in a populated Lagos suburb, killing 153
people on board and 10 others on the ground.
Dana was suspended, but was allowed to start
flights again in September, despite an inquiry into the cause of the crash not
yet being complete. Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan sacked the
head of the aviation authority last week and has proposed a replacement to the
Senate.
