According to the airline's Media and Communications Manager, Kingsley Ezenwa, Dana Air carried out the exercise to demonstrate its readiness to resume flights as soon as the airspace is opened.

After a successful dry run, the airline conducted shakedown flights from Lagos to Port Harcourt with its newly acquired Boeing and MD aircraft.

On Dana Air's level of preparedness, Kingsley said ''Dana Air is 100% ready so is MMA2 and some other terminals we operate from. All Personal Protective Equipment have been made available for all staff, crew, and passengers who might not come around with one.''
