Abstract:
This research tends to analyze the trend of fatality rates of air accidents in Nigeria. Data for the study was sourced from accident data base of the Bureau of Accident Investigation. A trend analysis was conducted on the secondary time series data collected. The trend analysis revealed an irregular pattern over time with its peak recorded between 2003 and 2005. The study concludes that there is an indication that the fatality rate of air accident due to security and safety lapses in Nigeria airports is not significant as the trend of air accident fatality in Nigeria is not regular which is occasioned by various peaks and troughs. Finally, the study recommends various security measures to be adopted by the air industry as well as some policy guidelines for government.
