“The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority audit is also still ongoing, and we have made huge progress having upped the ante on all our processes and procedures, but the SMS training is a periodic training for staff to enhance their knowledge on safety both in the office and across all aspects of our operations.
“Also, in attendance at this training which was observed by the NCAA are some of our newly appointed post holders: director of safety and quality, director of maintenance and engineering, director of flight operations, chief pilot, and safety manager, all of which we will announce to our customers, vendors, and partners very soon.”
Media had reported that NCAA suspended Dana Air’s Air Transport Licence and Air Operator Certificate indefinitely from midnight on Wednesday, July 20, 2022.
