INDEPENDENT reports that the aggrieved passengers are those who could not travel with the airline as scheduled due to the suspension slammed on the carrier by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).

Some passengers said that they were not informed of the suspension, adding that there was no text or email message to that effect from the airline.

A passenger who identified herself as Mrs. Bimpe Adewusi said she had a 10a.m appointment in Abuja on Thursday and was disappointed that she could not travel as planned.

Mrs. Bimpe Adewusisaid: ‘This is not the first time I would be disappointed by Dana Air.

”I was at the airport early morning today (Thursday) to take a flight to Abuja for an appointment I have today at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Like others, I could not travel as planned. The pain is that I cannot go as planned.

”Why will an airline not inform its clients of its challenge until they get to the airport? They are not even rebooking us on another flight. We cannot also get refund for our money. I paid N57,000 for this flight, yet I can’t travel.”

According to INDEPENDENT, a statement by the Communications Manager, Dana Air, Mr. Kingsley Ezenwa, stated that Dana Air was cooperating with the NCAA to ensure its return to flight operations.

The statement added: “Operational audits are regulatory and airlines are required to suspend their operations when the regulator calls for it and we are confident that having been successful in previous audits, we will come back even stronger and better.

“The audit is also an opportunity for us to prove once again and reassure our guests, clients, and partners that we remain strong, safe, efficient, and reliable.”

In a statement by NCAA, Capt. Musa Nuhu noted that the suspension was made pursuant to section 35(2), 3(b), and (4) of the Civil Aviation Act, 2006 and Part 1.3.3.3(a)(1) of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig.CARs), 2015.

Capt. Musa Nuhu said that the suspension was as a result of the findings from an investigation conducted on the airline’s flight operations recently, which revealed that Dana Airlines is no longer in a position to conduct safe flight operations and meet its financial obligations.
