Dana Air commences daily flights to Owerri


Dana Air on Tuesday commenced daily flight activities to Owerri the Imo State capital, from the Murtala Mohammed Airport Lagos and the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

The airline said that its decision to commence flight operation to the state followed its commitment to connecting as many states in Nigeria as possible.

The Chief Commercial Officer of the airline, Mr. Obialor Mbanuzuo, who spoke to our correspondent in Lagos, said the company was working with the objective of integrating major cities in Nigeria into its route network.

He emphasised that Dana Air was constantly reviewing its operations with a view to exceeding the high expectations of its guests.

He said, “Currently, we are servicing Port Harcourt, Abuja and Uyo, and due to the growing demand by our teeming customers and passengers, we believe that the Owerri, Imo State, is the next logical route to operate, and so on Tuesday, we began daily flights to Owerri from Abuja and Lagos.

“At Dana Air, we recognise the importance of Owerri in the socio-economic development of Nigeria and we are confident that our flight operations to the state will open more investment opportunities to the state.

“With this move, we are sure to open up more routes before the end of the year, but we do not want to do things in a hurry; we are carrying out necessary market research, listening to our passengers as well as considering our current equipment and facilities to be able to know the next action to take.”

Mbanuzuo also said that the decision to recommence operations into the state was hinged on the airline’s commitment to offer comfort and convenience to passengers in Owerri.

Speaking on its manpower programmes, the chief commercial officer said the airline was currently training both existing and new engineers in line with international standards to ensure that they were well-equipped.
