Dana Airlines is expected to resume its normal operations this morning six months after one of its aircraft crashed and killed over 153 passengers and crew on board and others on ground at Iju Ishaga are of Lagos, on June 3, 2012.

Barely two weeks after the House of Representatives called for revocation of the airline’s operating licence, the flight, expected to take off in Lagos at 9:45 a.m, would have on board some VIPs, journalists, stakeholders in the aviation sector and celebrities, including Nollywood stars.

The airline’s spokesman, Tony Usidamen, who confirmed this, yesterday, said all arrangements had been concluded for a seamless flight.

If you recall the Federal Government through one of its agency the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) revoked the Dana Air operating licence, pending proper investigations into the cause of the crash.

In September 2012, the Federal Government reinstated the airline’s licence and allowed it to resume, only with test flights.

In December 2012, NCAA issued a new Air Operators Certificate to Dana Air after it it completed the necessary re-certification processes.
