DANA Air Disengages Workers Amidst NCAA’s Audit

Introduction:

In a recent turn of events, DANA Air has decided to temporarily disengage its employees due to an ongoing technical, safety, and economic audit conducted by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). This move comes in light of uncertainties surrounding the outcome of the audit carried out by both the NCAA and the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB).

Overview of the Current Situation

Following an incident where one of its aircraft experienced a runway excursion at the Lagos Airport, the NCAA suspended DANA Air’s Air Transport License (ATL) and Air Operators’ Certificate (AOC). Consequently, all aircraft in the airline’s fleet were grounded to facilitate a thorough audit of its operations.

Reasons for Worker Disengagement

Acknowledging the disengagement of its employees, Mr. Kingsley Ezenwa, the Head of Corporate Communications at DANA Air, noted that certain staff members essential to the ongoing audit have been recalled to aid in the process. The airline believes that this temporary measure will allow for efficient resource management and a comprehensive evaluation of operational protocols.

Dedication to Compliance and Collaboration

DANA Air has reiterated its commitment to fully cooperate with regulatory authorities to ensure adherence to all required standards and regulations. The airline is closely collaborating with authorities to streamline the audit process and has assured its employees of continuous support and updates throughout this period.

Addressing Challenges Head-On:

Despite the challenges at hand, DANA Air has initiated dialogues with lessors and is actively engaging stakeholders to apprise them of the progress made so far. The airline recognizes the dedication and resilience of its staff during this uncertain time and is actively working towards a prompt resolution.

Conclusion

In summary, the decision to disengage workers at DANA Air serves as a strategic step towards effective resource management and a thorough review of operational procedures amidst the ongoing audit by regulatory authorities. The airline stands firm in its commitment to compliance and cooperation as it navigates through these trying circumstances.
