The
Ministry of Aviation said it had cleared Dana Air to resume operations
immediately. A statement signed by the Special Assistant, Media to the Minister
of Aviation, Mr. Joe Obi, stated that the officials of the Federal Ministry of
Aviation and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) met with the
management team from Dana Airlines yesterday in Abuja and deliberated on some
safety issues in connection with the operations of the airline.
After
the meeting, Obi said that the suspension of the operations of the airline,
which took effect last Saturday, was lifted. Obi, however, said that the
particular aircraft with problems would remain grounded until the manufacturer,
Boeing, recertifies it for operations.
The
statement reads in part: “The airline is to resume normal operations
immediately. However, the particular aircraft, which had a snag over the
weekend, is to remain grounded until after its airworthiness has been
recertified by Boeing, the manufacturer of the aircraft.”
