In regards to Dana Airlines' claiming to be “Nigeria’s first new world carrier,” this assertion is ludicrous. Dana Air and other similar airlines such as Chachangi, Bellview, and Afrijet should be put under the most stringent technical audits available which would ultimately lead to their operating licenses being revoked UNLESS of course they become financially able to bring in new aircraft into the country. This is the regime that FAAN must enforce in order to provide Nigerians with a world class aviation industry.

As it stands, the only three airlines that should be allowed to operate scheduled flights in Nigeria are: Aero, Arik Air, and Nigerian Eagle.
