Air accident reports to be made public
By Lesley Van Neel
The Minister of Transport and Communications, Nonofo Molefhi, has promised that accident reports into air crashes in the Okavango delta and at Kweneng West will be made public.
He said this at the 3 rd Aviation Pitso which started in Maun yesterday (Thursday) and which continues today.
His remarks follow on claims that the results of the accidents will be confidential, drawing concerns from pilots and others in the industry. Nine people died in the Moremi air disaster last year.
He said investigators are working on the final reports that will identify the cause of the two civilian accidents and the findings shall be made public.
He does not say when!
