He reassured the staff that Dana will continue to train its Pilots not minding the financial burden especially in these times of scarce foreign exchange to the airline’s operators.
Mbanuzuo disclosed that over 80% of pilots in its employ were trained by Dana Air, not minding the humongous capital vote to the airline’s budgetary provisions.

”We are not letting the guards down as we still ensure that our customers keep the mask on while onboard, temperature checks are done, sanitization before boarding, row by row disembarkation, and regular disinfection of the aircraft after every flight’’ Ezenwa pledged.
He noted that ‘’at Dana Air, our commitment to the safety and well-being of our staff and customers is second to none and we will continue to provide safe, seamless and reliable air transport for the flying public, He added.
