Dana Airline In Fresh Crisis

Dana Airline is in crisis. The aviation company recently lamented that it had lost over N100 million to the yet to be resolved dispute between aviation unions and Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL).

The company regretted that the dispute had resulted to the shutting down of the Murtala Muhammed Airport 2 where it was operating from.

According to Dana Air’s Communication Manager, Mr Kingsley Ezenwa; “The airline might also be forced to downsize if the industrial action should continue for too long. For now, we have lost over N100 million to the ongoing action.”

“Losing such money in an industry where airlines are still grappling with a myriad of challenges is unacceptable and disappointing to say the least.”

“We do not know how the situation will be in the coming days and we might have no other option that to downsize if the action stretches for too long.”

“Our worst fear, however is, if the terminal will be able to process the number of passengers when there is a coincidence in flight schedule with over eight airlines having to operate from the GAT at the moment.”

“We appeal to the parties involved to resolve the dispute in consideration of the passengers for whom we are all in the industry to serve. Without the passengers, there will not be any airline, regulator or industry and we believe they should not suffer for what they did not contribute to.”

“While we respect the rights of both parties to engage each other based on extant laws, we call on all concerned to intervene and save the industry from further crises.”
