NCAA issues new flight certificates to Dana Air, Skyjet

At last, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) on Wednesday in Lagos issued new Airline’s Operators Certificates (AOC) to embattled airline, Dana Air, and the Kaduna-based Skyjet Aviation. Dr Harold Demuren, Director-General , NCAA, issued the certificates to the airlines at the NCAA annex, Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos. Demuren, however, warned Dana Air Management not to commence flight operations until it had paid 100 per cent compensation to those families who had processed and submitted their letters of administration to it for the air crash that led to the suspension of its operations. The AOC guarantees the airlines to commence flight operations. Demuren said: “I am aware that five families of the victims of the June 3 Dana crash that happened in Iju-Isaga, a suburb of Lagos, that killed over 150 persons on board and on ground had submitted their letters of administrations to your office. “This is according to the airline’s international insurer’s request and the families got the letters from the probate registry of an Abuja high court. “Pay those ones their remaining 70,000 US dollars to make up the 100,000 dollars they are entitled to and then you can resume flight operations. I hope dana will do as they are told..
