The African Development Bank has said that the African air space is pervaded by too many old and inefficient airplanes.
The bank asserted that Africa is the riskiest sky to fly in, as the continent accounts for only 3.4 per cent of all flight departures, represents over nine per cent of all air accidents, and 37 per cent of total global air fatalities.
The AfDB President, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina stated this at the third International Civil Aviation Organisation’s World Aviation Forum in Abuja on Tuesday.
