The Dana Airline on Fri
day flew about 500 pupils drawn from various schools across Lagos on an excursion of airport facilities.
The company said that this was part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
The Chief Pilot of the airline, Capt. Segun Omale, told aviation correspondents at the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA2) that the company would once again lead in the drive to impact positively on children.
“We are a caring airline that will continue to pay serious attention to issues that concern proper education of the future generation.
“Our commitment for this all important excursion is anchored on our firm belief that a well informed child represents hope for the future of mankind as information drives the development of any nation,’’ he said.
He said that the excursion was in partnership with Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Ltd., owners of the MMA2, while Dana was providing the aircraft for the expedition purpose.
Omale said that the expedition would be a week-long programme with over 500 pupils, while the participants would have first-hand experience of how an airplane worked.
