Read Time:1 Minute, 39 Second
Dana Air has disclosed that it has terminated some employees due to an ongoing operational audit by regulatory bodies.
The development was revealed in a statement on Saturday by Kingsley Ezen, the airline’s head of corporate communications.
Dana Air underscored that the audit, presently underway, is a collaborative endeavour between the organisation and regulatory bodies to guarantee scrupulous compliance with all mandatory guidelines and protocols.
“In light of the ongoing audit, Dana Air has made the decision to temporarily disengage some staff members pending the conclusion of the audit,” Ezenwa said.
“The Management of Dana Air extends its sincere appreciation to all staff members for their resilience and dedication during this period of uncertainty. It recognises the difficulties that staff have had to endure and assures them that every effort is being made to resolve the situation promptly,” it added.
Dana Air’s statement reiterated its dedication to working closely with the authorities in order to facilitate a seamless and prompt resolution of the audit.
The airline also assured all that it will continue to provide updates and assistance to its staff during this process.
Dana Air also has initiated discussions with lessors and is actively involving stakeholders in the ongoing progress.
“Dana Air therefore urges for calm and understanding from our very dedicated staff for their altruism and stakeholders,” the airline said.
In April, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority suspended the Air Operators Certificate of Dana Air, 24 hours after the airline’s plane coming from Abuja landed at the Lagos airport runway and veered off into a nearby field.
The Dana Air plane with registration number 5N BKI, had 83 passengers onboard. However, all the passengers and crew members disembarked unhurt.
Emergency responders and regulatory agencies immediately rose to the occasion and opened an investigation to unravel the real course of the incident.
While awaiting the outcome of the investigation by the Nigerian Safety and Investigation Bureau, the NCAA said it was important to audit the operations of the carrier.
