The Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has commended Dana Air for introducing Owerri-Abuja -Owerri flights to its routes.
The governor, who lauded the airline’s feat after its inaugural flight from the Sam Mbakwe International Airport, Owerri, to Abuja last week, said Dana Air had brought the needed succour to the good people of Imo State, who, hitherto, had “to pay more for less” on the route.
He said, “We have witnessed development and expansion. We are happy that Dana Air is living up to expectations. The flight was smooth and on time and this is what we have been asking for on this route. Our people have been paying too much for less on this route and we thank Dana Air for this development.
‘’It is my desire to make Imo State a hub in the South-East and our partnership with Dana Air has increased traffic to our state, because of their convenient fares, quality service and most of all, our people are time-conscious and Dana Air is a time-conscious airline.’’
Accountable Manager, Dana Air, Mr. Obi Mbanuo, said, “Providing a smart alternative for the good people of the state and contributing positively to the economy and development of Imo State, has always been our desire and the crux of our existing partnership with the Imo State Government; and we are committed to linking Owerri to other parts of Nigeria, as the commercial nerve centre of the South-East.’’
Meanwhile, Dana Air has been unveiled as the official airline of the homecoming reception organised by the Imo State Government, for the 2018 winner of the Big Brother Naija Reality show, Mr. Miracle Igbokwe, who is from the state and, coincidentally, a pilot. He will also be unveiled as Education Ambassador
of the state.
The airline is reputed for its world-class in-flight service, innovative online products and unrivalled on-time performance.
