Dana Air has concluded its re-certification exercise conducted by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), and has said will deploy its additional flights to ease flight shortage across the country.

The airline also said its plan to acquire more aircraft in the coming year as part of its strategic route and fleet expansion program.

The airline’s Media and Communications Manager, Kingsley Ezenwa, told newsmen in Lagos Saturday that the recertification was a routine review carried out by the NCAA.

He said, “We have finally concluded our re-certification exercise with the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).

“Re-certification in Nigeria’s aviation industry is a standard practice conducted every two years by the NCAA and during the period, an airline’s operation is totally reviewed from ground handling to quality assurance and particularly safety standards and we are glad to have scaled this rigorous process.”
