They are coming.
I know for a fact that crews are presently being trained in Miami.
The crew base will be in somewhere in Lagos. Rotation might be 20 on 10 off.
I wish them all the best. Competition is a good thing.

Does anybody know if Dana is a serious operator? I´m talking standards, training, 3-5 year business plan, etc. What kind of innovations are bringing in, if any? Earlier they announced their business model as ¨low cost airline¨ but today´s press release mentions a premium cabin with 12 seats, in addition to the 128 economy cabin...
I sincerely wish them the best, in any case. Agreed, competition is heating up

Aoc Or What????
Aoc or not.
When you have that combination of a**holes like the ones you have on their management team? You can see where that carrier is going!!!
All the best to those gullible enough to get drawn into the confusion they're about to start out there.

I will like to know if DANA (5N-DAL) operated today as scheduled?
And if indeed they ordered 10-12 aircrafts, and with the up coming deliveries for VNA, ARIK, AERO, etc,I guess MMA2 will have too much to handle.

be very carefull
This "operator" is managed by very inexperienced people who have failed in other companys.
This company also has no experienced engineers,there is a cashflow problem aswell.
They intend to start operating very soon and the aircraft spares, Ground support equipment,tooling and anything else you care to mention have not been organised.
The selected chief pilot has failed in the sim!

Been trying to get this answer elsewhere. What is going on at MMA2? Is it true, as some have said, that if Arik Air were operating from MMA2 (as they were ordered to by FAAN along with VK) and not from the GAT, there would not be enough space for all the scheduled flights? Is it true Bicourtney asked VK to scale down their departures?

Frangible,
The answers to your questions are true & not sure. I'm not aware if they specifically told VK to scale down, but it was obvious to VK that MMA2 couldn't handle the full schedule & aircraft types that were scheduled so they scaled down- B767 to ABV from MMA2?
