Dana Becomes IATA Member

The International AirTransport Association (IATA) has announced that Dana Air has become a member of the global organisation and now has its name in the body’s registry. The Area Manager, South, West Africa, IATA, Dr. Samson Fatokun made this known when he handed over the membership certificate to the airline at its operating office in Lagos. In a speech, Fatokun said not all airlines are members of IATA as a result of its stringent admission process but commended Dana Air for making the list and joining over 300 airlines presently in the association’s registry. “We have requirements for any airline that wants to join IATA family and one of that requirement is that they must pass the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) and this has kept most of them back. IATA comes with a requirement of quality and people expect the airlines to operate with recommended standards of aviation globally. We commend Dana Air for this feat and hope that they will keep up the good work,’’ he said. The Accountable Manager of Dana Air, Mr. Obi Mbanuzuo assured the airline’s passengers of its commitment to continuously raising the bar of its operational efficiency with an airline model that guarantees sustainability and professionalism in Nigeria’s aviation industry. He said Dana Air has and would continue to maintain global best practices in the aviation industry while still introducing world-class initiatives to exceed the flying aspirations of its ever-increasing membership of the airlines’ loyalty program –Dana Miles. “Since becoming an IATA member, we have received a barrage of requests for interline and code-share agreements and we can’t wait to take our unrivaled services in Nigeria to the global stage. Dana Air remains uncompromising in its commitment to maintaining global best practices and as always, we will continue to churn out world-class initiatives to meet and exceed the flying aspirations of our teeming guests.’’
