ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigerian airline Dana Air can fly again three months after one of its jets crashed and killed 159 people, aviation authorities said on Wednesday, even though the cause of the crash has still not been made public.

The Dana Air flight, a McDonnell Douglas MD-83, collided with an apartment block in a populated Lagos suburb in June, killing everyone on board and six people on the ground.
