This is shocking from a country which claims to be modern and on par with regards to aviation! I feel for our fellow aviators who operate in that part of the world! When will the government wake up and do something, not talk about it? Surely with the drive to be accepted worldwide by the Nigerians, the international powers like FAA, ICAO and JAA can put some pressure to resolve this absolute disregard for safety?
Capt. Manuvar, you hit the nail on the head with your last statement! What I have gathered from a reliable source in Nigeria, it was only a matter of time for something to happen with the Wings operation! It apparently is general knowledge that their is a total disregard for safety and the "LAW"! Any idea what the WX was in that area?
We pray that the missing aircraft can be located speedily, however considering the time since it happened, I am afraid it might not be "good news"
Hopefully the Nigerian CAA will now do something about these kind of operators!
