Nigerian aviation authorities suspended Dana Air's operating license today as torrential rain hampered recovery efforts after the deadly weekend crash.
"As soon as we have concluded the recertification of the airline, if they are capable, then their license will be reinstated," said Sam Adurogboye, a spokesman for the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority.
Authorities have recovered the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder, which will help investigators piece together what caused Sunday's crash that authorities say killed at least 153 people aboard the plane and at least 10 people on the ground.
So far, rescuers have recovered 153 bodies, including that of a woman clutching a baby, from the crash site. But a downpour forced a suspension of recovery efforts Tuesday.
