Dana Air is set to recommence flight services to Uyo and Calabar Airports by the end of this month. The airline had suspended both routes following the June 3, 2012 air crash it had at the Iju- Ishaga Area of Lagos.
It would however recommence flight operations to Abuja from Lagos on June 4, 2013 while flight operations to Port Harcourt Airport resumed about two months ago. Talking on the resumption of operations to the new airport, the Head of Corporate Communications, Dana Air, Mr. Tony Usidamen said that the decision to recommence operations to the new cities was based on requests from the airline's teeming guests to extend its services to the oilproducing states.
He explained that since the airline resumed flight operations to Lagos and Abuja in January, it has had several requests from air travellers across the country to extend its services to more cities.
He said, "At Dana Air, we recognise the importance of Akwa Ibom and Cross River State in the socio-economic development of the country as oil producing states. With both states playing host to several multinational companies in the oil & gas industry, we are confident that our new services from Uyo and Calabar to Lagos and Abuja will make the states even more attractive to investors."
