Russia’s Air Traffic Most Dangerous, IATA Concluded
Air traffic is most dangerous in Russia and other CIS, says the report of International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Russia and other CIS member countries had 8.6 air accidents per a million flights past year, i.e. 13 fold above the world average (0.65 per a million).

At the same time, IATA drew attention to considerable improvements in flight safety in Africa, which holds the second score for dangerous flights now. Its ratio is 4.31 accidents per a million flights, more than two fold down on year (9.2 per a million).

IATA counted not only some big air crashes but also relatively minor accidents in the report.

Overall, the report says, the number of big air crashes sank to 77 from 111 in 2005, making 2006 the safest year in all history of surveillance. As before, the basic reasons of air crashes were bad weather conditions (43 percent of crashes), poor coordination of crew and air controllers (38 percent) and low level of pilots’ training (33 percent).
