Dana Air, a Nigerian airline, has terminated the employment of some staff members during an ongoing operational audit conducted by the country's regulatory authorities [72072aca]. The audit, which is a joint initiative between Dana Air and the authorities, aims to ensure adherence to all required standards and regulations. Discussions have also begun with lessors and stakeholders regarding the progress made so far [72072aca].
The employment termination comes less than two weeks after the Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) suspended Dana Airlines' Air Operator Certificate (AOC) [72072aca]. The suspension was imposed less than 48 hours after a Dana Air aircraft experienced a runway incursion upon landing at the domestic wing of Murtala Muhammed International Airport [72072aca].
Dana Air is currently working with the regulatory authorities to address the issues raised during the operational audit and to comply with the necessary standards and regulations. The airline is also engaging in discussions with lessors and stakeholders to ensure the smooth progress of the audit process [72072aca].
