Indications have emerged that Dana Airline, which began flight operations two days ago following the lifting of the ban placed on it by the Ministry of Aviation as a result of the crash involving one of its aircraft which killed over 150 people on board in June last year, may regain the patronage of its customers.
During a visit to the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja at the weekend, many passengers who spoke to The Nation were of the opinion that the crash could have happened to any airline.
As at 11am, a ticketing officer who does not want his identity disclosed, stated that about 50 tickets have been sold. He added that there were strong indications that more patronage would be recorded before the close of business for the day.
A passenger, Mr. Toye Tope, who bought the airline’s return ticket, stated that the sad incident could have happened to any operator.
According to him, the event will make the operator more preferable, adding that it is an opportunity to serve its numerous passengers better.
He said: “It’s God that keeps one. They are even more preferable to fly by, because they know they have challenges, which they must improve on.
“I booked for the same plane that crashed because it was supposed to fly us back to Abuja after its arrival in Lagos,” he stated.
At a point, a female passenger who was seen contemplating what airline ticket to buy was being persuaded by a team of Dana staff to patronise the operator, which she subsequently did.
However, in one of the ticketing office at the international wing of the NAIA, few passengers were seen queuing up to buy tickets. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
