Dana Air has terminated the employment of some employees following the suspension of its operations by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).
It was reported that the NCAA is conducting an audit due to an incident involving one of the carrier’s aircraft.
Dana Air’s Head of Corporate Communications, Mr Kingsley Ezenwa, who made this known in a statement on Saturday, said the decision to lay off some staff members is temporary until the audit is completed.
The airline noted that the audit is a collaborative effort between Dana Air and the authorities to ensure compliance with all necessary standards and regulations.
“In light of the ongoing audit, Dana Air has made the decision to temporarily disengage some staff members pending the conclusion of the audit.
“This decision has been made to ensure efficient management of resources and to facilitate a thorough review of operational procedures.
“The Management of Dana Air extends its sincere appreciation to all staff members for their resilience and dedication during this period of uncertainty.
“It recognises the difficulties that staff have had to endure and assures them that every effort is being made to resolve the situation promptly,” Mr Ezenwa said.
Dana Air reaffirmed “its commitment to full cooperation with the authorities to facilitate a smooth and expedited resolution” of the audit process.
