An
investigation into the cause of the accident got under way immediately, under
the guidance of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), who are being
assisted by investigators from the U.S. National Safety Transportation Board
(NTSB). Dana Air is cooperating fully and assisting the investigation in every
possible way.

In accordance with international protocol governing
aviation accident investigations, all information about the investigation will
come from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority. Dana Air will however provide
information relating to the flight itself and updates on steps being
taken.

Once again, we at Dana Air extend our profoundest
condolences.
