Dana Air recommences daily flight to Uyo at N9,000

DanaAir will tomorrow, recommence direct flight operations between the Murtala Mohammed Airport Lagos, and the Akwa Ibom Airport Uyo, as well as to provide onward flights linking Abuja from Uyo.

Also in line with Dana Air’s commitment to encourage air travel, it has set an introductory online webfare starting at N9,000 for one-way booking across its existing route network on its website at www.flydanaair.com to stimulate both leisure and business travels.

Announcing the development in Lagos, Obialor Mbanuzuo, chief commercial officer of Dana Air, noted that the company was working with the objective of integrating most major cities in Nigeria into its route network. He emphasised that Dana Air is constantly reviewing its operations with a view towards exceeding the high expectations of its guests.

“At Dana Air, we recognise the importance of Akwa Ibom state in the socio-economic development of Nigeria as a tourist destination and oil producing state, and the need to offer choice of travel to open up accessibility. We are confident that our re-commencement of flights between Lagos and Uyo as well as onward connections between Uyo and Abuja will make the state even more attractive to investors,” he said.

He also disclosed that the decision to recommence operations into Uyo is hinged on the airline’s commitment to offer comfort and convenience to passengers in Akwa Ibom and adjoining cities.

Dana Air which currently operates flights on the Lagos – Abuja – Lagos; Lagos – Port Harcourt – Lagos and Port Harcourt – Abuja – Port Harcourt routes is the only airline to have successfully undergone an operational audit conducted by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority Flight Safety Group in partnership with its foreign partners.

The airline is one of 10 airlines benefiting from the IOSA implementation training initiative that is 100 percent funded by International Airline Training Fund (IATF).
