Nigeria's Dana Air has rebranded its Dana Miles loyalty program to Dana Miles Club as the membership of the reward program has reached a record 18,000.

Speaking to newsmen in Lagos, the Media and Communications Manager of the airline, Kingsley Ezenwa, said the rebranding became necessary due to growing membership and increased benefits attached to the tiers of membership - Blue, Silver, and Gold.

On the recent message circulating on social media about a statement purportedly made by one of the airline's Pilots, Kingsley said – first, none of our pilots could have said such. Secondly, a pilot has the right to ground an aircraft if he or she is not comfortable with its level of maintenance. So why would any pilot say such about the aircraft he or she will still fly?’’

He further advised the public against misusing their social media platforms to spread ‘’blatantly malicious’’ and unverifiable information, as the airline is determined to again fish out the perpetrators and prosecute accordingly.
