Nigeria's government has decided to allow domestic airline Dana Air to fly again, three months after a crash involving one of its planes killed more than 160 people.

The nation's Aviation Ministry announced the decision in a short statement released late Wednesday. The ministry said the decision "follows the government's satisfaction with the air-worthiness of the airline."

Tony Usidamen, a spokesman for the private airline, declined to comment Wednesday, saying Dana officials had yet to be notified about the government's decision.

On June 3, a Dana MD-83 aircraft slammed into a residential neighborhood about five miles north of Murtala Muhammed International Airport while trying to land.

A preliminary investigation suggests both of the plane's engines failed while in flight. The government suspended the airline's operating license immediately after the crash.

  1. Surely this cannot be happening.
    How insensitive is the Government of Nigeria? How can the ban be lifted while families are still in search of their loved ones.
    We have not even been told what happened to the plane that crashed, families have not been paid. Surely there is something wrong here.

  2. @fadeke As much as I agree with you, Don't you think the regulatory authority should be allowed to do its job... If they feel Dana is suitable to resume operations, we must at least give them the benefit of the doubt
