He noted that the industry only recorded one serious incident with fatalities in the last five years with the Quorum Helicopter crash of 2020 which killed three crew members on board.
He said the feat was made possible through the synergy of all stakeholders.
He said, “We do not want to get it wrong and we do not want to have blood on our hands. The primary responsibility of the NCAA is public safety and this is what we must assure through our safety oversight and shared responsibilities with the certified entities and licensed personnel.”
Commissioner of AIB, Engr. Akin Olateru, stressed that aviation remains the safest means of transportation.
Chairman of LAAC, Mr. Olusegun Koiki, stressed the need for continued focus on human factors in air accident investigation since it plays a crucial role in safety in the global aviation sector as it would reduce the rate of accidents.
