Aviation minister Festus Keyamo said the government might chase down Dana Air assets to get money back to passengers and travel agents who got screwed over when the airline stopped flying. He told the Civil Aviation Authority to investigate why refunds are still stuck and made it clear that safety concerns killed the airline's operations after one of their planes had an incident at Lagos airport.
Keyamo wants the NCAA to check out what property Dana has left and basically sell everything off to pay people back. He also said that if anyone connected to Dana tries starting another airline or getting into the aviation business, they need to settle their debts first before getting approved for anything. The NCAA boss, Chris Najomo, mentioned that over 9500 passengers already got compensation between the start of the year and a few months ago, with more claims getting worked through the system.
