The Ministry of Aviation in a letter
to the Director-General of the NCAA, Capt. Chris Najomo through the Permanent
Secretary, Dr. Emmanuel Meribole, said recent incidents involving Dana Airline
had raised “serious safety concerns.”
In the letter with reference number
PS/FMA/MA/S.121/Vol. 1/99 titled, “Immediate Suspension of Dana Airline Pending
Safety and Financial Health Audit,” the Ministry said.
“As the supervisor overseeing our
nation’s aviation safety and regulatory compliance, it has come to the
Honourable Minister’s attention that recent incidents involving DANA AIRLINE
have raised serious concerns regarding both the safety and financial viability
of their operations.
In light of these incidents and with the
paramount priority being the safety and well-being of our citizens and
travellers, the Honourable Minister has directed that you immediately initiate
the suspension of Dana Airline’s fleet until a comprehensive audit can be
conducted.
This audit
should encompass all aspects of safety protocols, maintenance procedures, and
financial health to ensure full compliance with our aviation regulations.
The recent
incidents have underscored the urgency of this matter, and it is imperative
that swift and decisive action be taken to safeguard the interests of all
stakeholders involved. I trust in your expertise and diligence in carrying out
this audit thoroughly and expeditiously. Please keep me informed of the
progress and any significant findings throughout this process.
Your dedication to upholding the highest standards of aviation safety is deeply appreciated and please, accept the assurances of the Honourable Minister’s best wishes.”
