The Thai crash and Nigeria
Without deriding our Asian brethren, it would seem that, close to three years since the loss of a scheduled carrier hull, Nigeria's safety record is on the up?
Although Demuren's NCAA would take some credit, I think improvements like the information revolution sweeping through the land, better nation-building values and a positive slant to competition in the industry played their roles too.
In the period reviewed, Thailand lost a different One-Two Go MD jet and across the sea, it was the Garuda B737-400 and the Adam Air Boeing, every one of them with casualties; Iran has been even worse off.
Pity the Thais, their better facilities and procedures haven't matched the uglier face of the weather, but again, indicies vary, as their traffic volumes etc are altogether higher than ours'.
