For a fact, aviation is the most regulated and safety-conscious industry in the world.
Though state actors have activated the blame game mode, the underlining negligence behind the show of shame should not be taken lightly, if we must forestall avoidable disaster in the near future.
As our aviation handlers already know, November to March is usually the harmattan season, with attendant cool brown-dust from the Sahara desert. Harmattan is to Saharan Africa what winter is to Americas and Europe. Both can be dangerous to safe flights operations, which require the operating airlines, pilots and crew to be extra cautious.
Indeed, it is not the first time our decrepit infrastructure and negligence has been found out. Just recently, the Accident Investigation Bureau released a preliminary report on Max Air’s serious incident on Minna Airport runway last September, pointing accusing finger at failed ILS. Over 600 pilgrims were lucky to have escaped unhurt from a damaged 747 aircraft.
