Aviation Agencies' Negligence is the Major Cause of 70% of Air Accidents in Nigeria - AON Declares
Posted by Lolade on Fri 03rd Jul, 2015 - tori.ngA large number of air crashes in Nigeria were caused by negligence on the part of government agencies in the nation's aviation industry.
About 70 per cent of the air accidents that have occurred in Nigeria were caused by regulatory inefficiency and negligence on the government agencies in the industry, the Airline Operators of Nigeria, AON, have revealed.
The Executive Chairman of AON, Nogie Meggison, disclosed this on Thursday, July 3, while speaking at the Nigeria Leadership Initiative (NLI) Safer Skies Forum in Lagos.
He regretted lamented that airlines lose about $120 million (about N27.6 billion) to bird strike incidents alone yearly.
Meggison also explained that every year the airlines record 30 incidents of airstrikes which is the entering of birds into the aircraft engines at landing or take off, stating that this is average of two and half incidents every month.
