Dana Airlines Limited started operations in November 2008. Headquartered in Ikeji, they pride themselves as “The Smartest way to Fly”. In just over a dozen years of existence, Dana Air has made tons of news. They have become a well-known name even beyond the aviation industry and they are not always in the news for the good stuff. As a Top 50 brand in Nigeria, we took a sharp look at them and here is what we found out about one of the leading Nigerian airlines.

Dana Air ownership

After the crash of its plane, then Dana Air group communications manager Tony Usidamen denied that the company is foreign-owned. He was quoted as saying, “Dana Group is a wholly-owned registered company in Nigeria.”

This is not the whole truth as Dana Air is a subsidiary of Dana Group, a company founded in 1991 by Birbal Singh Dana in Dubai. Dr. Dana is an Indian surgeon whose service includes fifteen years in the University Hospital in Libya. And notice that the quote didn’t say wholly-owned by Nigerians; it said “wholly-registered”. Shoprite for instance is wholly-registered in Nigeria, not Nigerian-owned. Wholly-registered, too, not being the same with solely-registered.

Besides aviation, Dana Group is into electronics, pharmaceuticals, surgical equipment, polyethylenes, water bottling, automobiles, steel, manufacturing, importation, and exportation of commodities across the globe, especially in Asia and Africa.
