Nigeria suspends Dana Air's licence after crash

Nigerian civil aviation authorities today "suspended" the licence of Dana Air, an Indian-owned commercial passenger carrier, after a flight operated by it crashed in Lagos, killing nearly 200 people.
Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority spokesman Sam Adugorogboye announced the suspension, saying Dana will not be granted another licence until a fresh re-certification.
A Dana Air spokesman said he was not yet aware of the government's decision.
The suspension came after the Senate today suggested that the airline be grounded till probes are carried out into the immediate and remote cause of Sunday's fatal accident.
