Due to safety and financial concerns, Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo suspended Dana Airline’s operations, delegating the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority to conduct a thorough audit.

The airline’s operations have been put on hold until the completion of the audit to address the identified issues. This action comes in response to an incident involving one of Dana Airline’s aircraft, bearing registration number 5N BKI, which veered off the runway at Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed International Airport.

The Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Dr. Emmanuel Meribole, issued a statement titled ‘Immediate suspension of Dana Airline pending safety and financial health audit,’ formally announcing the decision to suspend the airline’s operations.
