Three days after the tragic crash involving an Associated Airlines plane conveying the remains of former Governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Agagu, to Akure for interment, killed 14 people in Lagos, the Federal Government, through the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority on Sunday night, announced the suspension of Dana Air’s operations nationwide.
The decision to suspend Dana’s operations came 24 hours after the NCAA grounded the operations of Associated Airlines, whose Embraer 120 plane crashed near a fuel depot two minutes after takeoff at the Lagos airport, leaving only six survivors.
The Coordinating General Manager, Corporate Communications, Aviation Parastatals, Mr. Yakubu Dati, said the decision was to allow the regulatory agency “conduct an operational audit” on the carrier and its planes.
The latest suspension of Dana’s operations made it the third time the NCAA would be grounding the carrier over safety and other related issues.
