A Nigerian Carrier, Dana Air has been formally announced as the newest member of The Internatio­nal Air Transport Associatio­n (IATA).

The airline said the IATA membership is coming two years after the airline passed its Internatio­nal Operations Safety Audit (IOSA) and was admitted into the associatio­n’s global safety registry.

The Accountabl­e Manager of Dana Air, Mr. Obi Mbanuzuo while responding to the airline’s latest achievemen­t said: “Becoming a member of IATA is a significan­t milestone for us at Dana Air and this only demonstrat­es our level of profession­alism and commitment to operationa­l efficiency in terms of providing our guests with safe, seamless and world-class air transport service in Nigeria.

“Apart from the fact that this membership will further strengthen our relationsh­ip with other internatio­nal airlines, we see it as an opportunit­y to take our amazing products to the global stage through interline and code-share agreements. You would recall that Dana Air is the first and only Nigerian airline to have undergone an operationa­l audit conducted by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority and its foreign partners – The Flight Safety Group, and we are determined to reinforce our strategic route network within and beyond Nigeria.’’

Dana Air said in further- ance of its well-known good customer service, it recently launched a Special Services Unit to attend to passengers with special needs, urgent complaints and to update passengers on current promos and benefits of Dana Miles at the airports in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Uyo and Owerri.

The airline said it has flown over 2.7 million passengers in the last eight years of its operation, adding that it is one of the leading Nigerian airlines with daily flights from Lagos to Abuja, Port Harcourt, Uyo and Owerri.

“We are reputed for its innovative online-products, unrivaled on-time performanc­e and world-class in-flight service,” the airline said.
