The Commissioner of Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB), Engr. Akin Olateru, said on Thursday that there are at least 37 accident reports pending at the bureau at the time he assumed office in January.
He also said the final report of the Dana Air crash which killed 163 people in June 3, 2012 in Lagos and three others would be submitted to the Presidency for approval before being released to the public.
Besides the Dana accident report, information on the two Bristow helicopter and AOS helicopter crashes will be forwarded to the Presidency for approval.
Olateru stated these at a forum organised by the Aviation Round Table (ART) in Lagos.
He, however, assured that the reports of the four accidents would be made known by next week while a minimum of 10 accident reports would also be released to the public before the end of the year.
The AIB chief stressed that the era of keeping accident reports in the bureau’s wardrobe was over with his management team.
