…consolidates route, fleet expansion 

Nigeria’s Dana Air has set a short term target to airlift 1.8 million passengers in the first quarter of the year 2020.

The airline has established a steady network in the nation’s commercial aviation industry over a period of 11 years, airlifting 5.4 million passengers from 2009 to 2019 with modest fleet size.

Last year (2019), Dana Air won the hearts of its customers for being consistent in flight schedules and ensuring stable operations, a rare feat that earned it the Most Stable Domestic Carrier Award, courtesy of Air Transport Quarterly magazine. 

Speaking at the Award Ceremony in Lagos, the Media and Communications Manager of the airline, Kingsley Ezenwa said, ”the reward for hard work is more work. There is no better way to end the year 2019 than a recognition like this.

We have been here for the past 11 years doing what we know how to do best passionately and persistently.

With a fleet size which we have progressively grown to 9 aircraft, our target is to hit about 7.2m flown passengers by the first quarter of 2020. 

We are orderly and we like to take one step at a time. We are presently consolidating while sticking to our strategic fleet and route expansion plan.”

Kingsley dedicated the award to the airline’s customers for their loyalty and support for the last 11 years and reassured them of the airline’s commitment to continue providing safe, comfortable, on time and reliable air transport. 

Dana Air currently operates a daily flight schedule from Lagos to Abuja, Port Harcourt, Uyo and Owerri.

The airline is reputed for its innovative online product, world-class in-flight service, and unrivaled on-time performance.
