The directive followed the incident involving a Dana Air plane at Lagos airport on April 23, which forced aviation authorities to divert flights from local to international airport.

The suspension was approved by Festus Keyamo, the minister of aviation.

Recall that one of the airline’s craft with registration number 5N BKI skidded off the runway at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on Tuesday morning.

Dana Air had apologised to its passengers for schedule disruption over the incident.

It also commended its crew experience, professionalism in handling the runway excursion on Tuesday.
