Editor, In response to the article that was published in The New Times paper on Wednesday titled ‘Twenty-nine planes grounded in DR Congo’ I would like to ask the ACC officials as well as all our neighbouring countries to truly uphold the importance of aviation safety and security as their primary focusIn Africa, there are justified beliefs associated with the increase in aircraft accidents that African airlines are unsafe and highly risky. It is necessary that the ACC indeed grounds all the planes that don’t meet minimum safety standards.I truly hope African airlines will soon be safe to fly.Seth
