Senate calls for the revocation of Dana Air’s License


Dana Airline



The Senate on Tuesday January 29 2013 issued a resolution asking the Federal Government of Nigeria to revoke the operating license of Dana Air.
This decision is coming on the heels of the report by the Senate and House of Representative Joint Committee on Aviation concerning the investigation on the crashed Dana Airline. The Senate also recommended that the Director General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Harold Demuren be sacked ‘for negligence and incompetence’.
It would be recalled that in December 2012, NCAA issued a new Air Operators Certificate to Dana Air after the Federal Government had earlier in September 2012, reinstated the airline’s license allowing it to resume only test flights.
Dana Airline resumed flights with celebs including Baskethmouth, DIPP, Harrysong and Buchi flying with them on Friday, January 4, 2013 seven months after its flight 992, an MD-83 aircraft crashed in Iju Ishaga, a Lagos suburb, on Sunday June 3, 2012 killing over 153 passengers and crew members.
