Dana Air Prepares For IOSA

The Dana Air said it
had commenced Implementation Training Initiative (ITI), ahead of the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Operational Safety Audit.
This is contained in a statement signed by the airline’s Head, Commercial Services, Mr Obialor Mbanuzuo, and made available to newsmen in Lagos, on Tuesday.
The Operational Safety Audit is the benchmark for global safety management in airlines.
According to the statement, the commencement of the ITI is part of Dana Air’s determination to meet global aviation safety standards.
The statement said that Dana Air was one out of the 10 airlines benefiting from the ITI funded by the International Airline Training Fund (IATF).
It noted that Dana Air was the only domestic carrier that had successfully undergone an operational audit conducted by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority Flight Safety Group in partnership with foreign counterparts.
The statement said that Dana had introduced additional flights across its existing route network from its hub at the Lagos Murtala Mohammed Airport Terminal 2.
It said that this was in response to growing demands by air travellers.
“It has strengthened the Abuja-Port Harcourt route with the introduction of an additional flight to cater for the growing needs of the flying public,’’ it said.
