Since humans can be said to have conquered the skies, many air crashes and incidents have occured, and will continue to occur. In fact, the most devastating aviation disaster in human history was when two aircraft, a KLM Boeing 747, which was attempting to take off, collided with another taxing Pan Am Boeing 747 at the Los Rodeos Airport on Canary Island of Tenerife, Spain, on March 27, 1977, killing a total of 538 passengers onboard both aircraft.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the unions issued the warning on the second day of their ongoing picketing of MMA2, operated by BASL, whose management allegedly sacked 24 employees for indicating interest to unionise.
The protesting unions are the National Union of Air Transport Employees, Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria and National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers
The board of the Resort Group has announced the appointment of Rodger Whittle as its new Group Executive Director.
Babalakin’s unquenchable thirst for and commitment to scholarship has seen this cerebral lawyer serving the nation in various capacities to help reform the education sector without drawing any allowance or stipend for his selfless service
The union’s General Secretary, Olayinka Abioye, gave the warning in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Wednesday in Lagos.
Although I am not a politician and I have no sympathy for any political party, I am a critical stakeholder in the Ekiti Project. As a community leader, whoever becomes the governor of Ekiti State should be of great interest to me personally
Steve Omolale, the spokesperson for the company, disclosed this while reacting to allegations by aviation unions that the firm was owing FAAN N2 billion
MMA2, operated under the Public-Private Partnership concession agreement between the Federal Government and Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited, a member of The Resort Group, is the first successful privately-funded Design, Build, Operate and Transfer airport terminal in Nigeria
The ministers’ various contributions and those of FAAN were a reflection of what it takes to do business with the government, even when the administration under which they served had good intentions. Other private investors and prospective ones need to learn a lesson or two from this experience
The terminal, operated by Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited, was adjudged the best by Nigerians who responded to the calls of the Nigerian Aviation (NIGAV) Awards Committee to nominate winners for the various categories of its awards organised by IFC International Limited, an aviation consulting firm
The statement further said that BASL is prepared to dedicate a section of MMA2 to any airline having challenges in processing its passengers at GAT and also guarantees that all safety, security and specific passenger facilitation requirements will be put in place to address the airlines’ specific needs within 24 hours
Conversely, it is a big shame that after several years, FAAN cannot boast of one terminal that provides comparable comfort and meets the expectations of passengers in Nigeria. Almost all its airport terminals are already near-derelict, despite the enormous resources expended and at the disposal of the agency
