SA's aviation sector was recognised among the safest in the world with a 0% fatal accident rate held in the commercial airlines sector for nearly four decadesMangcu made the remarks on the first day of the of the three-day 2024 National Aviation Conference at the CSIR International Convention Centre in Pretoria.
Under the theme “advocating for aviation safety, security, and sustainability,” this year’s event continues the global deliberations derived from the 41International Civil Aviation Organization General Assembly resolutions, with focus on how they impact on South Africa’s local aviation industry.
“The role of the regulator is very important in setting the standards and tone and also making sure that we monitor these as we don’t want to go to a place where we get quotas and say any airline must have so many black pilots and so many females. “South Africa performed very well in all these audits and assessments. ICAO rated South Africa’s safety oversight system at 91.11% thereby placing South Africa at number one in Africa and number 18 in the world alongside Norway,” adding that the country aims to maintain a 0% fatal accident rate record for decades to come.
