The Accident Investigative Bureau,
(AIB) has published reports of its investigations of eight air crashes in
Nigeria.
The reports, which were released
yesterday, covered mishaps involving Bellview, ADC, Sosoliso Airlines, DHL,
Bristow Helicopters, Aero Contractors and two aircraft in the fleet of the
Nigeria College of Aviation Technology in Zaria. The AIB said there are noticeable human error
factor in the crash, such as personnel training, maintenance culture, crew rest
period, work load and fatigue. It however indicated that there is yet no
conclusive report on the June 3, 2012 Dana Air crash. The AIB however said the
Dana crash was not caused by contaminated fuel. It attributed the crash of the
Bellview Airlines’ Boeing 737 at Lisa Village in Ogun State in 2005 killing all
117 passengers on board to technical defects.
The bureau said the report on the accidents, though not
punitive, is expected to serve as a corrective implementation plan for the
affected parties, which include the airlines, the Nigeria Civil Aviation
Authority and other aeronautical agencies.
