• NCAA says no cause for alarmDespite the three years of zero accident, commercial air travel in the country may not be as safe as required due to non-compliance with safety recommendations and rules governing the sector.
As a norm in the global air travel, safety recommendations are issued based on investigation into accidents or serious incidents to forestall future occurrences. The Accident Investigation Bureau’s Safety Recommendation Committee report 2018 recently made available to The Guardian, found at least 130 recommendations issued since the inception of the AIB in 2007, though with a lot still not implemented.
The committee observed that the police have established Approved Maintenance Organisation and acquired some equipment, but it is still inadequate for safety recommendation, even as the Abuja hanger facility is not conducive for personnel carrying out maintenance. Another instance of non-compliance with safety rules is at the Kaduna International Airport. Recall that Chanchangi B737-200 aircraft had a runway incident at the airport in 2010, with some safety recommendations made in its aftermath. One of them is that “the provision of medical personnel during aircraft emergencies must remain a standard procedure in effecting a search and rescue operation.”
Investigators had recommended that FAAN “should be made aware of its safety responsibilities to aircraft operators as far as airport operations are concerned. The authority should desist from using untrained personnel who could not recognise potential aviation hazards when many of these hazards are obvious.”
“The agency’s electrical facilities are obsolete and NCAA does not carry out facilities gap analysis. FAAN-Engineering is in charge of airfield lighting systems, but none of the personnel is certified in airfield lighting systems,” the report read in part. FAAN recently withdrew services from two state government-owned airports – Kebbi and Gombe – over alleged N811million debt.
On the issue of police air-wing, he said: “We have even sanctioned them recently and they have complied. It is because we didn’t make it public.”
